Getting Goat kids

[chickens really]

When goats are happy they stay in their fence. When they are unhappy they are a pain. They are escape artists. You gotta out think them.

Fancy just must be sad! In pain? Oh my goodness...

Maybe angle the fence inward at the top like they do at prisons?

She sounds challenging.

Trust me Lisa! We are trying a million things.

No, she wants what she wants, that's a typical goat. She needs to learn boundaries. That's what an electric fence will do. Having kids may shift her priorities if she's over bonded on you.

You wouldn't have to run electric around the whole fence either. Just where she's getting out, and the side that faces the house.

Have you tried cattle panels in the place she's jumping? It may or may not work.

I'm thinking it's going to cost me about $1000 to actually contain this bad girl..
over the $500 I've spent already on fence..

My hubby would freak!

You can get an electric fencer, and fencing,and insulators for under a 100 bucks usually. It's the only thing that will contain most goats.

Really? Where can I find such cheap fencing? I don’t have an issue...yet, but, I might...I have a bunch of kids, and I foresEe a troublemaker!!

She is very right!! My goats were free range all summer...when I was out with them..they would go in and out of their pen..never had one issue. My fence is a typical 4’ cattle fence. No one ever tried to get out. If I shut the door, because it was a muddy mess and wanted them to get nice grass, sometimes they would be mad about that...but, they never jumped. Maybe she’s upset with Ozzy? Maybe he’s too rough on her? You said he’s a very Bucky wether
