This video is SO helpful. Just got baby goats and put up the same welded wire fencing. Now I know what to do to fix it

[susieclues]

Love that you show the errors. This helps me a lot!

We have been through some STUFF trying to fence goats and pigs. 😅 finally resorted to running a four strand electric fence. Works great, no problems with escaping, goats and pigs are together, as they eat the same food anyway and don't bother each other. Also it was so much cheaper for the area we wanted fenced, even including the box.

You're friend is totally awesome! Thank him for us.
Had you listened to him, this video would not have been nearly as amusing 😎

3:45 in destruction of a perfectly good Chicken coop penthouse. Being poor and seeing this hurts. All good!

Still have a pile from Chipdrop 3 years later. It’s broken down a bit but still a good amount.

We call our fence "Baby chick tight" we did cattle panels and then wrapped the whole thing in chicken wire. Keeps baby goats and chicks in... for the most part. I'm convinced goats can phase shift. Mine are all my babies so they just trott down to the milk parlor to see if im around

We alternate the t-post on the inside/outside in our goat pens, because we have horses outside the goat pens.

how much do your panels cost? I was paying 20.99 before covid at tractor supply. They're now 34.99!

Why would you destroy a perfectly usable playhouse? Goats would have loved it and or your could of recycled the pieces for other projects?

I layered that same kind of cattle panel with the 2x4 wire. There are cattle out in the pasture and i knew I wanted to keep not only goats and kids in but also chickens. And I wanted to make it harder for foxes to just run in and out.

I’m watching as I’m typing. I’m thinking ooooh nooo...You could have sold that playhouse. 😩

What are the dimensions of the goat pen?

[chickabeefarm]

Same mistake ...we are getting ready to line the inside of our fencing with hog panel

[LexKaiNix]

Hey neighbour 👋🏻
But what did he throw over the fence? 😂

[familiacasagrande]

Top play ground will be great dog house

[tamekahines]

Could have made a chicken house out of it 😢

[StephanieNP]

Why would you destroy that playhouse? The goats would have loved that as a shelter. We got a play house with a slide for our goats.
