Another goat fencing question

[BBQJOE]

Goat fencing is for goats that have been dehorned or were born without them, we don't want them to feel left out of the goat Olympics. Everyone deserves a chance.

What'ya bet they get a participation medal?

Goats fencing-that's cute! Do they use their horns instead of swords?

I finally mostly finished the 6' privacy fence to protect my garden, so I was able to turn both the goats loose in a much bigger area. The one that hadn't been hopping the fence (Angelo) immediately got the goat equvalent of cat zoomies! It was hilarious.

I used 5' lengths of PVC pipe and threaded them into the existing chainlink so it extended the height of the fence about 3', draped them with bird/deer netting, then zip tied everything in place. Hopefully this will keep Loki from hopping over it at will, otherwise he'll be at my raspberry bushes again (apparently they taste delicious). I'll use a hot wire if I have to, but this will be a pretty cheap fix if it works. Now that they have room to run, browse on bushes poking through the fence, and other entertainments maybe they will be a little more content where they are. Although Loki mostly just wanted to be with people...the raspberry leaves were a bonus!

Crossing my fingers...

Goats love raspberry brambles. That's a great way to extend your fencing. You goat sounded so happy. Hopefully by now they are settling down and getting used to you and your new home.
