Fencing project for my goats. My biggest project yet

[Birdsong 82]

Past the feeling bad part and excited to move forward. I raised my daughter on my own till she was 8 so I should be good.
Think about it this way . now there's an excuse for the crazy .At least till it's over
Goat math works like chicken math .Just a little slower. There theraputic

I just hope for both of us it doesn't last too long..
Definitely woman get the dirty end of the stick a truer statement never made
Men they have no clue..
Don't feel bad about divorce if you do? You will be great on your own anyways..

I've been with my husband over 30 years and that's an accomplishment..
Have two sons 29 and 24 years old. I'm thinking these new kids will be easier..

It's been great chatting with you..
We definitely had a good one too..
To be on topic are you working on the fence again today?

Looking good Rachel.
I don't know what type of wire fencing you intend to fit to the posts. I use stock net here. It will, correctly erected hold a charging ram.
These are a couple of pictures of a very small amount of the fencing I've put up here.
Both types are strong. The post and rail with the stocknet sandwiched between the uprights and the rail is the stronger fence but it's more expensive to do.
What I would suggest is you fit some corner post struts if you intend to tension whatever wire fencing you use.
No concrete was used for any of the fences here.

You can buy posts with machined points on them here which you drive into the ground.

If you survived a husband for 30 years and 2 kids then goats will be a piece of cake

Not sure how how I'd drive them in. Wosnt to bad with the auger just the bags of sakrete. All corners and opening will be reinforced with struts. Learned my lesson last time

Are you gonna line the inside with electric to keep the goats off the fence? Mine like to lean in and rub along their sides without electric. They wear it out quickly.
