I think I came upon this channel first because of the sliding gates popping up, but I’m finding as I binge your channel that each video is useful. Cheers.

Thanks very much for this demo, very helpful 👍

Excellent video. Wish I found this before getting into goats. I’ve experimented with all of these fence types and had the same experience as you. The only thing I would add is you can get field fence as you call it with vertical wires 30cm (12”) apart so even the largest goats can get their horns in and out. We use the more expensive sheep and goat mesh (what we call horse mesh here in Australia) on my yards which are cattle panels. Great video 👍

Great video. Merry Christmas!

Good informational video, thanks for sharing.

I asked a question on your other video about fencing but then I found this one. This basically answers all the questions I had. Thanks again

I’m currently installing 4x4 sheep and goat fence, I’m surprised you didn’t showcase that.

Thanks!

Thanks I learn something new

Thank you sir!

we use cattle panels and t posts. sheep and goat panels were too expensive for the size we wanted so we went with cattle. have had the goats over a year and have only had one goat who got her head stuck in the fence. i just tied a stick to her horns to keep her in. looked a bit silly but it worked. the only other issue is keeping the kids inside. they can walk right out of the fence. but our food is put up tight and they have never gone too far from momma. predators haven't been an issue either, though it is something we've watched for.

I use the mobile electric fence around chicken coop and it keeps them safe.

They'll use the net wire as a rub and your nice fence will soon be saggy.

Regarding the high tensile wire, you mentioned on the second row from the bottom it was not hot but grounded. How does that work exactly? You just run a wire from the ground rod to the second row? Really enjoy you videos, very informative...Thanks

I'm just wondering if the pig wire won't start sagging if the goats stand on it. Or is that not a problem?

I’m gonna use that plus chicken wire fence too with 7 foot t posts.

What type of charger do you use? I have a 5 acre pasture that I’m trying to determine what would be sufficient, eventually I will be expanding the pasture maybe another 5acres at a time as I’m only expecting 10 to 15 sheep this year.

Hello. The video is very informative. We are wanting to get into raising goats. However, we live in an area of the upper MidWest where we can get a lot of snow. Does snow affect these electrical fences? I'm thinking I would have to shovel the whole fence line just like mowing? We want to keep the cost down but want something permanent and stable as well. Thanks Much!!

Just subbed

what breed/s of sheep and goat/s do you raise?

What brand of insulators did you use on your metal t-posts? Have they worked well for you?

I’ve got 6 foot 2x4 inch welded wire fencing...but I’m concerned about coyotes climbing or digging...thoughts?

Is the barbed wire on top of the fence efficient to keep predators out?

So I have a question about your catch pin . What is the width of the catch shoot and length.

Greg Judy uses a charger that is so strong it burns the weeds off as soon as they get close , good information though

could one run the bottom wire as ground so then it doesn't matter so much if grass it touching it?

I am finishing up hog fencing but have problems with predators and want to run an electric wire. Any thoughts.

How about using frost type fence? 5 or 5 foot tall? I might have a cheap used old frost fence. Not getting tons of goats but some of that goat specific fence 2x4 cost like 400$ CDN.... I still have to build their shelter etc.

Do you have much coyote pressure in your area?

give us a list of the items you used in the video for the fencing.

How does one keep the stubborn goats from climbing and pushing through these I had a lamacha/alpine that gives zero shits about zappys idk how to rotationally move goats with portable fencing

Noticed you did not have guardian dogs for sheep. You have any issues with Coyotes wanting to dig under fencing or stray/feral dogs causing problems?

What do you use to spray the fence line?

Great video - thank you. I'm realizing temporary electric fencing is not sustainable (it's a pain to move every few days and risks killing the goats in tangles as you mentioned so that defeats the point). I need better fencing for rotational grazing. I think I'm going to go with the horse/goat/sheep exterior fencing and electric dividers. We have rocks and mountain land so fencing with land that is not level is no easy task. Also - if you live in Montana the fish & wildlife teams help get funding for electric to hold out the grizzlies/mountain lions/wolves. They cover some of the cost as well so it's worth reaching out if you need it.

Here's a dumb question from a guy whose never raised livestock or farmed. Why not use barbed wire for electric fencing? Isn't it metal and conductive?
