How To Contain a Goat

[@6969smurfy]

For meet goats. You need 5' fence. Electric top and bottom!

[@karenhernke281]

The new baby goats are so cute. Poor momma goat doesn't get a break with her babies jumping on her. Lol. Nice job on the fencing. Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen

You sir are a patient man

[@thefigfarm4562]

I never thought to use the trees! So smart!

[@olduglyfarmhouse59]

I learned the hard way that using trees as posts wasn’t a good idea long term. The tree will grow into the wire. You’ll lose the wire and run your chainsaw chain if you ever have to cut down the tree.

[@HallHomestead]

We separated ours with an electrified poultry netting. It's nice that you can move it around - so far it's keeping them all in.

A kiddie pool would make that pen an animal resort. Looking great!

[@RoseThistleArtworks]

I just heard about goat towers today. If I had goats, I think that would be fun. It's basically a silo with stairs around the inside and outside. The goats climb up into the silo and sleep there at night.

So cute

Do you have a nail clipping video using the milk stand,,we struggle to clip. Our goats

[@Linda-td8hj]

Looking good guys ♡◇♡ love the baby goats they are so cute ☆☆☆☆ great job as all ways

[@AbamAdy]

thanks...awesome

[@timwagner9170]

You need built stair case or those wire drums for them to climb and jump on!

[@theoverworkedgardener5648]

My goats have jumped over 5 ft fence at one point. My suggestion is keep those. those are good goats.

[@priestesslucy]

In my experience the magic key to keeping goats in your fencing is to make sure they have some brush to enjoy and move them daily. If they've already munched on an area they're going to get bored lol

[@priestesslucy]

@@FLPhotoCatcher I love sheep ❤️ But while the products are similar, they fill different biological niches and have different jobs on the land

[@FLPhotoCatcher]

Sheep are easier to keep, and are less damaging to trees and plants, etc. We have hair sheep that are a Katahdin-Dorper mix. No shearing needed, and they are quite hardy - and the lambs are very cute!

[@ghostridergale]

Sounds fantastic, I’ve been considering sheep to add to my chickens I’ve been raising a few years now. I’ve heard goats were more problems then sheep. Got any advice where to get these sheep you mentioned in your comment? Didn’t notice where your located? But I’m in Camas, Washington myself. Be glad to see some pictures of them if you got em to show my wife if not too much trouble?

[@INFINITYSWAGGER1]

Nice vid! I like it!

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Ever used a shady grass seed in the wooded areas for pasture grass ?

[@priestesslucy]

If it's for goats they'd honestly prefer more scrub over grass. Especially things like huckleberry or vine maple

[@reillygrimley9542]

Hey can you add a link for the fencing you're using here? I'm looking for some fencing along those lines, but have yet to find it at any farm stores in my area.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

You can always send the bucklings to market. Goats are bringing a decent price.

[@neildriedger637]

GREAT video guys lol!!!!

[@priestesslucy]

I wouldn't do any clearing back in the new goat pasture (except any clearing necessary to put in fencing.) Let them eat up that brush lol If you want more light in there, after their first pass you can pull the fencing and drop some of the big trees.

[@kylancook3477]

His plan is to put in a pole barn where all the pastures are at, he's just using them to clear it in the mean time

[@tmackie1694]

Aloha, Todd. Great video. Question about your successful “goat & sheep fencing”: what is the measurement of the wire mesh? Is each square 4” x 4” ? Thank you … we’re prepping to get a couple of Nigerian Dwarf wethers so your feedback is so helpful :)

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Yes it is 4”x4” woven wire.

[@tmackie1694]

@@SSLFamilyDad many thanks

[@sarahgoodwin3337]

Watching you bang in the metal posts knowing how thick that root bed is.... my goodness! It mist be hard to find a clean spot to use.

[@timwagner9170]

So how many years can the mom goat have babies!

[@nickivanaltena923]

The babies are simply adorable! Hey, any chance we could have a recall on goaty mcgoat faces name?

[@FLPhotoCatcher]

The vote was cast, no voter fraud detected, lol We could always shorten the goat's name to McGoat.

[@judymckerrow6720]

How’s the tick population in the woods? I heard they’re very prevalent this year?💚🙃

[@jimputnam2044]

One good thing about chickens, they eat ticks yum yum.

[@localcrew]

Guinea fowl are the best tick-eaters.

Chad on Adler Farms makes gates out of pallets.

[@theoverworkedgardener5648]

Let me know how the keeping the goats in the fence works out because I'm hoping that mine can keep them out of my garden. They're like ninjas that eat everything

[@sunnypatchfarm]

If a fence can hold water......... it can hold a goat

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Lol

[@thefigfarm4562]

Haha I just spent my afternoon repairing a portion of ours that the goats busted through. I went out for 2 hours, when I got home.... they had busted through the SAME PORTION! I give up.

[@sunnypatchfarm]

@@thefigfarm4562 I switched my goat fencing to 5 wire high tensile electric using timeless fence posts. It's been almost a year and not one goat out since. I have a few videos on my channel if you want to check em out

[@thefigfarm4562]

@@sunnypatchfarm yeah I will. Thanks!

[@michalschroeder2187]

Trick question you cant

[@HallHomestead]

Your daughter is funny, you should have had her burn some of her energy of by driving a T post into the ground laugh

[@michaelripperger5674]

Don’t use live trees for fence posts. Someone in the future will be cussing… 🤬.. and that someone might be you

[@ghostridergale]

Sure you’re not milking the wrong goat? LOL
