More on the goats clearing out the vines and other things. Here is a snippet from Google Earth to give you an idea of what I was showing in the previous pictures. Point "A" is where I took the pictures from, and the white lines show the approximate directions I was looking:

What I am wondering is this: will I need to clear out a path for electric fencing so that it would not ground out? And would I need to get the electric fencing close to the ground to prevent them from trying to go under it in the low spots?

Yes and yes, with the 1st yes dependent on what kind of vegetation exists at near ground level.
You can get an energizer that puts out enough reserve voltage that it will still be a strong animal deterrent even in heavy weeds and grass, but if it's thicker, like vines you will have to cut them from under the fence.

@Senile_Texas_Aggie ; have you ever thought about asking at the extension service if there is anyone who rents out their goats to do brush clearing? Some states are actually hiring some goat people to do clearing of brush under power lines and such. Ought to check around and see if there is anyone doing that. Sure there would be some cost, but maybe a good way to get some steep ground cleaned up, with no capital outlay on your part and someone else with the equipment and knowledge to do the work. Just a thought.
