Well, I guess if you know the joys of trying to keep a goat penned, there could be a chance you have some!
Mine could not get to the feed, but they loved my rose bushes, hanging out on the front deck and getting their heads stuck in the yard fence!
During hay season, they felt they should be in the field with me and the dogs! If you have never tried mowing a field, while trying not to mow goats, you've really missed some fun!

that's why my hubby says no to goats. the getting out stuff and getting into others people's yard. i need to hear about the good stuff.one of the 4h has one i ask about visiting it. we use to have goats at the fair but last year was the last one. so i missed out on it. was going to get a free one but wasn,t ready for it.send some pics of your goats if you get a chance.

Put a roof on it and then you won't have to worry about it learning to climb the fence instead of jumping it.

We ended running a hot wire in the one pen, it kept them in!
But, once they ate everything in that pen, I tried to put them out to pasture! Since they wanted to be in the yard with us, they found new ways, faster than we could fix them!

Then you could do like we did for a dog, put just a 2 ft wide slanted roof around the perimeter. Slant it inside.wynedot55 said:roofing a 90 by 60 pen would be rough

Exploring the pasture
They are just too smart for their own good! Mine loves to be with us & will do anything to be there! He also loves to play with the dog across the street, specially if she is stuck inside her fence..he runs & does that jump/twist they do in the air & pronks around taunting her. He can jump 3-4 ft & learned to climb wire fences, even chain link. I had to hotwire it bottom, middle & top. Why they insist on eating your roses & honeysuckle instead of blackberries & weeds... J
