lol five strain hot wire does wonders

Trued that... they still pushed through...

They kept climbing my chickenwire fence until the fence sagged down.....


Crazy goats.

I haven't yet tried a board or somesuch at the bottom... even the paddock is bigger than I had junk to use as bottom stiffeners.

As is we are perpetually fighting to keep them out of the duck pen/orchard. And that has a real fence. (Combo of chickenwire, goatwire, fishnet, and concrete reinforcement wire).

Chickisoup glad you are in a safe, warm(?) place. The only good thing about delayed bargain hunting after Christmas, is the price keep dropping. A lot of time, in March, I get the very best deals. Stores out here think they can tempt with luke warm clearance prices - we know their behavior too well

On our way home from our family party Sat...saw a goat eating grass (that wouldn't be showing much longer after the snow storm) anyway, there was a horse on the inside of the fence watching him eat. lol..couldn't help but think ..that the goat could have been thinking..yes, the grass IS greener on the other side. Neener Neener!

30 acre cow hot wire on small acreage will keep nearly anything in

That just doesn't happen with goats. I remember not too many years ago having a heavy snow with a lot of drifting. We couldn't figure out how our Australian Cattle Dog was getting out of the yard so we went out and followed his foot prints. Sure enough, he was jumping on top of a snow drift and simply stepping over the fence onto the continuing drift. We tried shoveling the snow away from the fence. No solution there. He just 'jumped the mote' and went out chasing rabbits.

It shouldn't have surprised us that he would do that. This is a dog who once chewed through field fencing and unraveled chain link fencing. I still from time to time tell DH that we need to get that dog a cow to take care of. He needs a job.

we don't get snow down here. On the rare occasion it may snow it never lasts more than a couple of hours and it is never more than an inch or two. We have rygrass growing now and it is time to plant onions. We will plant potatoes in February.
