yes the netting works very good just be sure your goats are safe of they are away from you house a LG like a donkey , dog , or Lama works very good Be sure your goats know that the fince has power or they will go for it and tear it to pieces !

Wow, thanks for the tip. I am in need of fencing for my goats and find it very pain stakingly difficult to put up livestock fencing with metal T posts and then having to add electric wire also and then needing to rotate pasture areas often all by myself. This is something I am going to try out. I have a very old horse who is easier to keep in than the goats, so I imagine he will be fine too. Thanks, Ann | ||

We've used the electrified netting fences from Premier for 3 years and love them. We've been able to set up temporary pastures quickly with minimal effort. Our goats are accustomed to electric fences so only one encounter with the electrified web fence, and they leave them alone. These fences are worth the money. The only drawback is that the fence will short out if the grass around it is too tall and touches the webbing. We have to spray the fenceline to keep the grass/weeds down to avoid it shorting out. Otherwise, it's a great investment. | ||

This past summer, we ran our Boer herd on some friend's bottomland, clearing brush to open things up for their cattle. But we used a confinement system of a bunch of 16' wire panels and T-posts, that was an absolute backbreaker to move every couple of weeks. I've seen ads for electrified netting style fencing from a couple of different manufacturers (ie Premier and Kencove) that promise to be infinitely lighter-weight, easier to move, and adaptable to uneven ground. (Some of the gulley sidehills were really difficult to fence with the panels!!!) We had tried electrical tape fencing (3-strand) to no avail, as it didn't seem to get sufficient back-charge on dry ground (it did work fine in the wetlands), so therefore the panels. Has anyone got experience with the electrified netting? Mark Lee Fort Collins, CO |
