It's really hard to fence deer out. They can easily jump 4 foot tall fences from a standstill. Some people have luck with making a double fence but I'm not sure of the distance between the fence lines.

As for the goats, before you get any goats you need to have your fences and shelter in place. You might think you can do it but for some reason you'll never find the time to set up a proper perimeter fence or shelter after you have them. That goes for most livestock too.

I have a fence question.

Why can't you get locust fence posts anymore. Those posts held up longer than the fencing that was attached to them.

Hedge was good, too. I think I can still get some hedge apples if you want to try to grow some of them. Just plant them in a line where you want a fence. Takes a few years, but they last darned near forever.

Good firewood, too.
I appreciate the offer. There's a few places near here where I could get hedge apple seeds if I had room for the trees. Otherwise I would have planted them on the far side of my wooded ravine.

I'm not real fond of the way hedge sparks in the woodstove. But in a fireplace it's pretty neat.

The fencing around one of my gardens is crooked. It's not my fault, there were tree roots and big cement chunks where I wanted to put my posts.

Why were the posts about using fish net to block deer moved?
I'm still seeing them. First page, post #16 IIRC.
