If a fence will hold water, it'll hold goats. Yup! Was told once, take a bucket of water. Throw water on fence, if no water gets through, your goats won’t either.

I plan on using 50" cattle panels for a corral for some pigmy & boer goats I'm getting this year. I'm planning to attach the 16' panels (not yet sure how many panels to use for each corral) with a couple spring hook ~carabiners. Hopefully it works. I don't want to deal w/ them jumping/climbing out, but I want a fence that is moveable. If they won't self-supprt, I might use some fence posts or ~lean some against a tree. Of course I'll watch to ensure heads don't get caught in the panels. If need be I might attach a barbed wire strand to the top of each panel. I'm open to suggestions.

Don't attach any braces on the inside of the fence as they will use them as a ladder. Regular fence wire has to big of holes and you will spend a lot of time poking their head back through the holes. Those hons will catch on the way back out.

Don't forget to enjoy your goats. It seems like no time passes like goat time. especially when chasing the things down to get em back in the fence

We put goats with our sheep one year and will never do that again.
Bryce That's interesting. I say that only b/c when I went to buy some of my goats, they had sheep in w/ the goats. As for fencing, from what I can tell I'd like cattle panels better than hog panels. I am aware though that baby goats can sneak through cattle panels. Although the cattle panels I found at the store do have smaller holes for the bottom ~foot.

They will also eat the clothes off the clothes line, jump up on top of your car, and eat tin cans.

I'm surprized they haven't banned pack goats in Montana yet due to the possibility of them transmitting diseases to wild sheep. Or, are they able to test goats to certify that they are disease free?
