does anyone have any advice on keeping our goats out of the garden and
flower
beds? we had them fenced in high powered electric fencing, but they just
run
right thru it like it doesn't bother them. hate to have to sell them, as
they were gifts to my son from my grandfather before he passed away.
just
hate them eating all my plants!


thanks............


Uh, build a pen???

uh - they were/are in a pen. they run thru it. tried electric, chicken
wire, wire panels, and wood fencing. they either run thru or jump over.
and these goats can jump. caught one of them on top of our horse trailer
and then again on top of the round hay baler.- Hide quoted text -

Maybe a 10' deer fence around the garden? Plus a garden in their pen.
