Fence jumpers
#3
Sorry about the lack of details. They are leaping clean over any of them under about 44". In fact, they probably have about another 6-8" of clearance above them. The fencing is a mix of field fencing and panel fencing with field fencing layered onto it. There's also a few sections of chainlink that are only about 40" tall (that's where they started jumping). She has a 58" perimeter fence. We are boarding them there for about 2 years before moving to our own larger acreage lot. I'm sure we can figure out a temporary solution until we can afford to extend the height of her fencing. I guess my question is also about whether anyone has had experience with these larger goats continually jumping fences, or do they eventually settle down and be content in their pastures? Or for that matter, use the open gates instead of risking a broken leg jumping from one area to another. Thanks again!
