Any last comments or help mainly from experienced fencers with goats? We have started putting in our posts. Still no final decision on the type of wire. Thanks again, looking forward to our goats.

Quote: +1 Oh come on now... I'm sure that Bill Gates could do it! The amount of electricity required to bring a woven wire fence to 2000 vdc would be phenominal. Did not what to seem so uneducated I am just here to learn the best way to protect my livestock.

Quote: No. I mean it would be possible in the vacuum of space; but never on a farm. Please tell my why you think it is not possible. To much wire and not enough juice or something else?

Is it possible to connect the woven wire with insulator and electrify the entire fence?

I was talking to my father today about my goat fencing needs and mentioned that I might get some milk goats. He said, my they can jump over almost any fence. Is this true are some breeds of goats better jumpers and more likely to jump fences than others? I "think" I know that a bigger goat will...

Quote: Thank you for the information on the donkey. I know nothing about llamas, but I will look into it. How large of an area do you have fenced with the combination cattle panels and how much did they cost? Do your goats get out at all with them?

Quote: Can you please tell me what a offset fence is? Also what is the reason to not use t-posts? Thanks

Quote: Does she climb over it or does she jump? At what locations are you going to use the electric wire to help stop her from getting out? Also do they have a large field or they confind to a small area? Thanks again for the helpful repiles everyone.

Quote: I think people are confusing welded wire with woven wire. Welded wire is really not suitable for large areas. Perhaps for working facilities & corrals you can make the argument. But as far as a per LF basis goes, woven wire compares well. Going all high tensile will be the cheapest...

Quote: What about 4 foot goat wire with 1 or 2 hot wires above that. 5 foot wire is very expensive, and I have only found it in the horse no climb fence so far. Also on the LGD, it is a real possibility as many of the local goat farmers have them. One of my neighbors has a donkey to keep dogs...

beak Today 9:15 am I would go with something heavier than 2x4 welded wire. We had goats for a little while and they made short work of that stuff. Use 5' livestock fencing. That's the stuff that has progressively larger holes as you go up from the bottom. You can get a 300" roll at Home Depot...

Jenski Today 9:23 am I too have been researching the goat thing, and all the farms I have visited are using livestock panels. These panels are very durable, and I have seen different types of posts with them. Goats will be very hard on fencing, as they do climb all over it. Note, though...

Hi all and from me to all of you. I have been reading here for along time and have been learning many things about chickens and love having my own. I have had chickens for a few years myself and think I am ready to move up to larger livestock. Goats seem to be a small step in that direction...
