It is in a goat's job description that they need to test, and possibly destroy any fence that keeps them from wandering the world at large.
Alice In TX/MO and paintpony like this.

Add a couple strands of electric with a strong charge and you should be good to go.

Light it up. I have 3 strands of hot smooth wire on 8 acres and all 22 of my goats respect it.
