Space and fencing questions

[r3bauer]

I realize this has probably been asked to death but... I am looking to get two to three pygmy goats. I am thinking a 50x50 area we have lots of under brush for browse, and I plan on supplementing with hay and pellets. So first question: Is that enough space? Too much space?
Also I was thinking cattle panels for fencing. I have seen pros amd cons of it but financially it seems the most feasible.
Thank you in advance!

A pygmy could probably walk right through a cow panel, the holes are 6"x6". The panel idea is a good one, you could move it around for fresh browse. You could use sheep/goat panels. The holes are 4"x4". You can also use a panel, bow it over and secure it with T-posts, put a tarp over it for a shelter.

a 50x50 area is sufficient as a "dry lot"/pen area. You'll be surprised as goats browse more then graze, so they'll clear the underbrush down to ground level from as high as they can reach. It won't take them long either. In a matter of a month or two, it will be a dirt lot.

Thats what I did with my chicken coop.

We use regular field fencing (red brand woven wire) with a strand of electric 6" off the ground and another 2ft off the ground. Nothing gets near our fences to climb.
