Fencing

Are these the correct type of fencing for goats? Which is best?

What type goats?

Are you also running hot wire? Have you considered 4' sheep & goat? 4x4 openings, usually 330' rolls less expensive. Also it's woven as what you show here. . Prob comes in 5 ' also.

I wasn't planning to run it as I dont have power easily available. I figured 5ft cuz I've heard so much about them jumping 4 foot and all my other fencing is 5ft

Back to your question....the no climb is good, so is the goat type but it does cost a little less with less wire. Both of those are woven, see the wire at each intersection, not welded. The welded is what comes apart. The cost is more important if you have a large acreage to fence. Here, I have both types but, 15 acres of perimeter & cross fence. If only 2-3 acres....you get the $ picture.

Your looking at mini Saanens. I have full Saanen & some crosses with Nubian &/or Boer...plus full Boer.
The NDs will give higher cream & some of those genetics may transfer to your offspring crosses. I personally love my Saanens! Temperament is good, they're quiet, milk is great tasting & good volume. They do not tend to be the jumpers (bucks excluded) but NDs are athletic & Nubians

Post pictures of your goats. We love pic
