New to Goats - few questions

[Palomino]

You had great points, I enjoyed reading your post and the different points of view..

But your fencing experience!

Very different from mine.

For me, tiny goat =jumping all over and easily getting out of all fences.

My Nigerian cross could EASILY jump a 5 foot fence!

Large goat = a fencable goat!

That is the opposite of mine! My nigerians were never jumpers, but my Lamanchas, ugh. No fence could hold them, which is why I sold them. I think a lot of that depends on genetics though. There is a jumping gene that some lines are known for!!

My baby sis was told that if she wanted a fence guaranteed to hold goats, the fence had to be good enough to hold water.
