Hey folks,
I have an unusual question about goat fencing, wondering if any of you can help. I have a 3.5 acre wetland where I graze goats during the summer months. It's very overgrown and shrubby so there is plenty of forage. It has a secure 5-strand high-tensile electric fence around the perimeter. However, there are a couple small areas within the fence that I would like to fence off, to keep the goats out - both about 10x10 square.
I'm wondering if I could just use some 5' or 6' welded wire fencing or plastic netting for this, or whether the goats will bust through. Would they really care enough, since it's such a small area and they have plenty of food? Does anyone have experience with something like this, or general advice?
Thanks so much for your help.
