goat fencing

[wynedot55]

my nephew came over late this evening.so we worked on raising the fence in the goat pen.we added 2ft to it.making it a tad or 6ft tall.so when we are done maybe my jumping billy cant jump 7ft.

Good luck! He sounds like a troublemaker. I hope that it works for you.

 

[wynedot55]

yes he is a big troublemaker.thats why he is on a 15ft chain right now.an he looks for ways to get out of the pen.

Do you have an electric fencer? A little zap might help..... Unless he hits the wire airborne, of course, then he is not grounded properly.....On the other hand, if he is dragging the 15 foot chain......

i have a bad distaste for hotwires.used them for years when we was milking.an id get shocked just about everyday.so if this dont work.he will be doomed tobeing chained up till i get tired of him an get rid of him.

I knew a family with a buck that was great at jumping fences and the solution they came up with was to chain him with a 6 foot logging chain to a couple of cement blocks. He stayed behind the fence because he couldn't get the lift he needed with the extra weight.

that could be dangerous. I would just put a roof on the pen, if nothing more than a bird's net tied down.

so far he hasnt jumped out of their pen.i tended to the chickens an moved them to another area.because they love to go in the henhouse.an when i got though i put them back in their pen.

I know he's been a real headache for you... good luck. Hope this works!
