Getting Goat kids

[MillersFarm]

I'm gonna pasture off about 3acres of woods to goats or possibly a cow . What fencing would you recommend? I might be thinking something stupid here but I would like to have the fence designed so that my game fowl can go through the fence and still access the woods for foraging . . My game fowl are small maybe 3to 4libs. .

I use regular 2’x4’ chicken wire fencing for my goat pens right now, although I wouldn’t recommend it. I’d recommend getting woven field fencing, and if you want fencing your chickens can get through I’d make sure whatever goats you’re getting are dehorned so they can’t stick their head through and get stuck.

I lifted the gate to my fence up about 6 to 8 inches and it's perfect for my chickens and even the smaller cats to squat down and crawl under it and get in and out as they please. It's harder to do that with the fence area because goat Can stick their nose is under and push the fence up. But depending on the kind of date you have it's not so easy to do that with the gate

Your goats must be more tame than mine because they would just laugh at chicken wire if I put that up. My last fence had the welded wire and if you buy the right type it worked fairly well but eventually it will come apart. And I bought nodded wire this time and that stuff seems like it's gonna last a while I! It is strong and so thick I had to get bolt cutters just to cut through it

not chicken wire! Sorry I’m having an off day welded wire is what I use as well, but I would like to switch over to woven wire before spring

The only problem I had was a woven wire is that it comes in 330 foot rolls. I like that because it's less splicing and weak points in the fence but one roll is 225 pounds
