Yes, the back door was open and the man and his son were working on a car in the front. Boy went in for water and my goat was in his kitchen. Full-size Saanen doe. I never asked what clean-up was needed..... 
just finished the fence in a hurry! They have a good sense of humor and used to have goats, thank goodness. This past winter a doeling somehow got out....must've gotten bonked and popped over a low spot (snow and ice) in the four foot fence. She was "knocking" on the neighbor's door (same neighbor) after 11 PM, standing up and looking in the window and pawing to get his attention. Poor thing was very cold and frightened and had lost her voice by that time. He put her in my yard and then came to tell me.....good neighbor!
Hence the expression....if your fence will hold water, it MIGHT hold goats!

How hard is it to cut through high tensile? Will it light someone up?
My hubby reminded me of someone that kept cutting the wire when I had an electric fence running around my front yard b/c my neighbors dog was after my chickens, pooping in my front yard and on my porch.
We also have teenagers that like to party in the "crater"(pond that holds no water). When I had wire running across the front of it, they cut it. They even took all my no trespassing signs. That's the whole area I want to run high tensile for the goats.
