I'm sorry, but this just wrong. Goats are the most difficult animals to keep fenced in... they climb just about anything (the fence itself or something else that will help them get over it) and they are much stronger than deer or most other similar-sized animals, and thus also much more likely to break a fence. And they are smarter, too, and will figure out some way to out. There's an old saying: the fence that will hold goats holds water.
- mikeg8 5y agoYou may want to reevaluate this. Deer easily jump 5’ fences, goats can be contained with a sturdy 3.5’ fence. I own 4 goats that are contained on 2 acres… regularly see deer coming and going as they please, jumping over a fence the goats can’t get through.and a large buck deer is way stronger and taller than the biggest buck goat.
