we had goats as a kid and the priests from the church across the road would always call up and tell us they were in the cemetery eating all the flowers.

Never could keep them in even with big conduit yokes around their necks.

yup thats one long going fad....we use goat wire in menard county, not to many problems with goats getting in with the exception of a billy that climbed over a low spot, but we fixed the low spot and no trouble since.....been hunting with goats 15 years, with a lot less problems than we get from cows in Madisonville

Need to use 4x4 or 6x12 mesh. The 6x12, they can stick their head thru and can still get it back out. The 6x6 is just a "gill net". Goat is the #1 most consumed meat in the world. It just hasn't caught on here in the USA.

If any water goes through, a goat can get out (or in)!


Your dad must have went to the same school I did. There is no such thing as a goat proof fence, a fence only slows them down.

Carp is #1 fish consumed in the rest of the world. Aint caught on here yet either. Got goats or sheep I will hunt somewhere else.



I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.
