Enjoyed the video Laura & Sam. That is some simple to install fencing. They will enjoy the new pasture. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video and y'all take care and God bless.
If the fence isn’t high enough to keep a deer from jumping it, my Kiko will clear it. He isn’t touching the ground when he jumps the fence so he doesn’t get zapped (sometimes he doesn’t even touch the wire). The turd literally looks up at the fence, takes about 4 steps back, runs forward and leaps over it. I had also learned that goats don’t conduct electricity very well lol If the volts are not above 6,000 they won’t feel it. Forget solar fencers. We use a car battery and that will jiggle the insides of an elephant XD
@@akatsukiawsome13 I need to move them around constantly, permanent fencing is a pain if it's only in one place for a week, I'm clearing a few hundred acres and just need to keep them from going to the neighbours gardens. Definately works with a good solid fence with a single strand of zap along the top, you can do it for sure, just make it as big as possible or you will be buying a lot of feed... 😊🐐❤️
only 2 wires good luck! mine just walk through too. Variety of grass that grows in my area grows a foot a week in summer (1 metre in a month) Shorts out any electric fence and needs weekly brushcutting to keep clear. Solid fence with fencing wired to hard top rail to stop goats crushing
Always been concerned more with the predators than our goats getting out. Thankful that our field type fencing we put up on our perimeter has worked well and limited any kind of entry or escape. Hot wire, especially starting at a young age certainly keeps them in. Strongly considering something like what you guys are using to further separate our paddocks and allow for rotational grazing.
I don’t understand why that electric netting is so beloved by so many people. It gets tangled in everything, you can’t adjust the length easily and it’s expensive. It is also trivial for full sized goats to jump over. I hate that stuff
If a goat touches the top wires while jumping the fence it will not get shocked. In such a case the poly wire will stretch and the goat will probably get through. I don’t know goats but suspect they would learn this trick.
Our top wires are very hot and definitely shock! We’ve been using this fencing about 5 years now and as long as it is HOT (meaning the fence doesn’t have a branch or something on it reducing the zap) it keeps our sheep and our goats in very well
