I know there's a lot of talk about goat appropriate fencing and I thought I'd ask a few questions.
We already have 4' hex fencing that we are going to be running along the property lines, using 100' tall pines as fence posts. This is to keep our chickens from running into the neighbors yard when free ranging and to give the kids/dogs a barrier. I know this type of fencing isn't adequate for their primary enclosure, but I was wondering what your thoughts were concerning this type of fencing as a property line barrier for free ranging goats.
They would have a good sized "goat appropriate" enclosure around the shed/barn and would only be turned out for free range when we were out there with them so they could do their "job".
Do you think 1/2 acre of trees and brush plus another 1/2 acre of grass (weeds) would be enough to deter them from trying to breech the hex fencing while outside of their pen?
