Goats escaping
Seeking advice: My husband and I own 5 goats (2 does, 2 bucks and 1 wether). We have had them for three years but the bigger they get the less our fencing keeps them in. We have a wire fencing that they step on and has bent over time. We reinforce it but that hasn’t been enough to keep them in. We added a second fence on top to make it taller (about 5.5 feet) but they still bend it to hop over. We’ve tried electric fencing but they snapped it so that didn’t work. Unfortunately we live in an area near a busy road and do not want them constantly getting out to roam around. We’d hate to rehome them as they are excellent animals but being unable to keep them in their pen has become frustrating and we’re at our wits end. Looking for advice on better fencing, keeping goats secured in their pens, or ways to entertain them so they don’t feel tempted to roam. Any advice is sincerely appreciated! Thank you!
To add. We inherited the little goat farm and are doing our best to take the best care of them possible. Escaping is the only issue we’ve had.
