I LOVE my nice sand/clay soil. It makes everything about fencing SO much easier.

You guys are awesome! So much information 
the H brace configuration is definitely helpful.
Our soil here is not the best, not the worst. 'Tis a post glacial type soil, often rocky. You'll be trying to dig out a rock and discover it is instead a huge boulder instead.

Thanks for the info!! I agree that the lowest strand of fencing should be very low, especially where goats are concerned.
Does anyone have any comments regarding differences between cattle fence and the sort of fence needed for goats?
Thanks!!

Around here, 4 pt barbed wire, 5 strands, stretched tight as a banjo string about 12" spacing for cattle. The goats I've seen here are also inside barbed wire, but with more strands, and closer spaced but from what I've seen elsewhere, it seems most goat folks use a woven wire of some sort.
