At yesterday's invasive plant workshop at Fort McCoy, the most interesting thing I learned was about the rise in popularity of invisible fencing for grazing goat herds. I suppose the reason predators don't bother their herds is because they utilize herd sizes of 40 goats. I only have six goats, so i'm not sure I would trust that predators would leave them alone with an invisible fence. If I could think of a way to make it work it might make things easy for moving my herd around my property though. The guy from 'Goats on the Go' said domestic dogs are what bother their goats the most though.

They said there's been quite a rise recently in the number of brands that offer this for livestock, but that this brand is the only one that offers it for goats or sheep.

GPS rarely siezes to amaze me. The herdsman was showing me imagery on his smartphone of some of his other herds, in which he could see where each animal was.

Moving cattle panels can get a bit old.

A couple of good guard dogs/livestock guardian dogs might be the answer. The invisible fence would work for them too.

Have you tried the electric net fencing?

It won't work for kids, you'll still need fencing to contain kids if it's near residential or agriculture.

It would if you put the e-collars on them.

Invisible fencing ( IMHO mighty expensive) may keep livestock in; but it won't stop predators. A group of coyotes or wolves will work a herd, any size herd, and push the whole herd thru a containment fence whether invisible or electro-netting. Don't ask, how I know.

We used premier 1 electro stop net fence when we ran goats. I had little over 100 yards of it and our small heard needed moved about every 3 weeks. It was better tahn moving the cattle panels. Still got old. I used the 3 point and chain to pull the ground rod. High lift jack worked when the tractor was down..

My wifes friend is switching over to the GPS electric stuff on her cows. If it works well I may be interested in it. 9 years ago it was going to cost me 27k in material for the fence I wanted with me puting it in. I still dont have the fence in. Never started it. Net worked and was cheaper

If this works it would be a game changer for us.
