How tall does pygmy goat fencing need to be?

I%26#039;m going to start raising pygmy goats. I already have 4, but they are in with my chickens, and therefore the fence was already 8 foot tall for that purpose. But with a pen holding strictly pygmy goats, how tall does it need to be?


Also, any suggestions for the best kind of fencing? Hog panel? Chicken Wire? Etc?


-CayleeJo|||perferrably 5 to 6 feet


since goats can jump high


one of my pygmy goats died last winter cause he froze


from gettin his hoof stuck in the fence and froze there over night


since are fence was about 4 feet tall and he usually


was able to jump it easily no problem





the kind of fence we used for chickens


so it was easy for them to get their hoofs stuck in


so i think hog panel should be good


since they wont get stuck and they would be able


to stick their heads out to get grass or something





*if you get one llama or a couple big attacking geese


then it should keep predators at bay





we had geese cause they were cheaper


and they wooped a foxes butt


ganged up on it and ran it off


i always see it on t he other side of the road


but he dont try to mess with my babies anymore|||It would be good to have about a 4ft tall fence. I prefer to keep a 6ft fence, though, because it will keep out stray dogs and wild animals that might like to jump in!





Chain link fencing is strong and cheap to buy. You can probably get away with using chicken wire, but I%26#039;m not sure how it would hold up in an animal was really desperate to get in or out.
