We use Premier's Estop at 42" high and it works well. The dogs are more afraid of it than the goats are. The dogs won't get within 10' while the goats will graze right up to the edge. I accidently ordered the 35" high last year and it won't keep the little ones in so I can only use it for the big mature does.

We have 12 rolls of 165' and 2 of 85'. I have two of those suitcase solar charges. I usualy have two seperate pens set up, one in one of the fields that connect to the barn and the other "elsewhere" on the property. I have been very happy with them. We have been slowly getting things fenced in. Hubby ahs found that doing one side of a field at a time rather than an entire field is more efficient. Once I get one fence in, I can run the electronet to either side and have a gate to work with. It dramatically expands my available area.

It will NOT hold in rutting bucks or moms that can hear thier weaning kids screaming.
