goat fencing, t-post as line posts?

[chiques chicks]

If you want to keep the goats off of the fence run a strand of hot wire at knee height; they won't bother your fence.

Oh yes! And call me evil: but their faces and reaction if they do touch the wire -lol priceless...! ;-))

Knee high on me for Nigerians? So around 18 inches? Will this work when they are young as well? They will be around 10 weeks old.

So many questions, I know. I'm not worried about beautiful landscaping, or my neighbors, but I have a lot of road frontage I can't protect, so I'd like them to stay at least on my side of the road.


Reaction on my face when I hit hot wire -priceless! I've hit many in my life. Note: if you are holding a call phone and touch the hot wire with your free hand, the phone is not harmed unless it breaks when it hits the ground or lands in a puddle.

Good to know about the phone.

My wire is goat knee high but I have big goats so it is also about my knee height. I would put it low enough so that the babies can't walk under it; that will work for the adults too. They learn very quickly to stay away from a fence.
