I'm just afraid that if we build a fence that they will trample everything inside it. I was thinking with this fence I could just rotate it around their barn.
That happens a lot on BYC too....:lol: Thank you for your advise! They were bigger... That's what I thought too!
Yeah, we will see once we have them for awhile.... Oh, thank you for tagging them!:)
I'm getting two Nigerian Dwarf does soon and I am trying to figure out the whole fencing thing.... A while ago my brothers raise goats in electric goat netting and never had any problems with getting out or injuries. This seems like the best option for us, since we want to move them around a lot...
