I am hoping my English skills are not lacking and what I am thinking is considered woven wire is not actually it?
I have bought most of my fencing from local farmers but the one time I got it from the store it was from Murdoch's at 60x100 for $94.00

Tractor Supply also has some

@Alexz7272 that is WELDED wire. Woven wire is when the pieces are wrapped around each other, like a knot.
I usually break the welded wire when I stretch it. My goats would break it in a second. The woven stands up to abuse from me and the goats.

No worries.
@babsbag
We cant use welded wire either Babs, wish we could it would work out better(smaller holes) and be cheaper then the woven we use.

I wish I was on this site when we bought a ton of welded wire fencing! My does are ok (except they keep getting out) but my wether is destroying it. And I'm sure my buckling will do the same when he gets big enough! Now we have to add electric strands.

Welded will not last UNLESS you have HOT electric on it. So if you are looking a $$ you have to work it now, be sure you have really good hot wire up also....
ALL my animals rub it and it just comes apart if no hot wired. Been there, rewired that. The woven can/will stretch if not hot wired but doesn't "pop apart" as the welded.
For chickens, welded is fine. But put a 200 lb buck in there who wants to rub off his winter hair and it's over.

Luckily I don't have full sized goats.... But still it looks like my chickens may inherit a giant fenced in area! Haha

I have the welded around my garden and I stretched it very carefully. I like tight fences and we are not on level ground so welded has a hard time holding up to my abuse. Everywhere else is the perimeter fence is 4' 2x4 no climb except one area is 5' as it was an open roll at TSC so we got a good price. Fencing between does and bucks is stock panel with hot wire on both sides. Rut is is full swing so glad I have the hot wire.
