Ultimate Guide to Goat Fence | Best Goat Fence | Nigerian Dwarf Goats |

[@maryh2168]

Like Tim Taylor said. More power!!! Makes sense for the electric. I agree that the small hole panel wire is best. Electric down low keeps goats off and other things out. Great advice. You almost have me wanting to get goats of my own 😂 they would eat my poison ivy and clear my woods but I'm too old to start now. Wish I was young again 😅 Take it easy in the heat, it's no joke. Thanks for the great advice. You already know I love your channel and I pray it keeps growing ❤ Best of luck to you🤞 hit that like and subscribe button everyone!!👍

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I’ve had Nigerians. Now have LaMancha. I think all the sayings about “if a fence can hold water, it can hold goats.”...were made About Nigerians. La Mancha have been SUPER easy to keep compared to Nigerians. I will not go back to them. Very different animals. Plus’s I might get a gallon of milk per day from one LaMancha. Nigerians, it was a fraction of that. Eyes are the dividing line between lunging forward or jumping back from a shock. Training for a four (eventually three or two) strand electric wire fence, I start with the poultry netting almost up against the wire so they can’t get in the wire past their eyes. Then I gradually move the netting back. You are right about the netting. I use poultry netting. But sheep netting is not tall enough. Poultry netting works awesome. Brushy land will make you swear at the stuff. Open land or straight, well mowed path will make you love it.

My Nigerians are super easy. They don't even need fencing - they are free range on my property and never leave! They are better than my dogs! 🙂

@@rikkeles2331 wow! Mine had 30 acres of perfect graze/browse and it was nearly impossible to keep them inside the safety of the perimeter. I won’t go back to that. I would have to find a breeder like you to even think about it.

I am trying for 1K views also. Nice tips on fencing.

[@abcacres]

Thank you! Good luck with your channel

Great channel! Thinking of going with the cattle panels they sell. 50” x 16’ panels. How tall should you get for a fence?

[@abcacres]

Thanks! Those cattle panels should be just fine. My fence is 4' tall. Some people run another strand of wire above that but I've never had trouble with goats getting over my fence. Thanks for watching!

[@thebonestead]

@@abcacres thanks!

If they push through the electric fence you do not have enough strands spaced properly or too weak a controller

[@gwapod9885]

As one wise old farmer told me, If a fence won’t hold water, it won’t hold a goat.

[@marlenedimmitt1475]

How tall of a fence do you need for mini Nubians and Nigerian dwarfs?

[@abcacres]

I have never had trouble with my 4' fence. You can always run an extra strand of electric or barbed wire around the top for extra security

[@thedampestcrib6004]

Yeah 2x4 being little over $1 a ft no thanks lol i have about a mile of fence i plan to do 4x4 would still be alot but id rather do this then hassle of barb wire and stille have issues and i never liked single strands because legs getting caught when deer or goats try jump it

[@thedampestcrib6004]

But I'd say my best bet is run or 8 inch electric strand for young ones because it will take me at least 2 seasons to make a 4 wheeler path next to fence path

What happened to the real ABC acres?

[@abcacres]

I assume you are talking about the other ABC Acres youtube channel...you'll have to reach out to them. I didn't know they existed until after we named our farm. Thanks for checking us out though.
