Pro Tips
- ✓ Goats test fences constantly — check for loose staples and gaps every few weeks
- ✓ No-climb 2×4 welded wire is best for smaller breeds like Nigerian Dwarfs
- ✓ Cattle panels (16 ft, 50" tall) are fast to install and nearly indestructible
- ✓ Electric fencing works as a secondary deterrent but not a stand-alone enclosure
- ✓ Bury or pin an apron at the base if predators are a concern in your area
