Is my electric fence controller enough to power two mesh fences

I have a 2 mile, 110v 60 cycle Zarebra fence controller, will this be enough to charge about 240' of your electric netting? I also don't know what fencing would be best for my needs. I have two mini donkeys and 2 pygmy goats that I would like to move out to a temporary pasture a couple times a year. I live in northern California and it is very dry here. We have mowed where the fence will be placed, so there shouldn't be any weeds touching the fence.

Colleen,
The energizer needs to be considered 'Low impedance or Wide Impedance" in order to be safe for the netting. If it is one of those two types then I think it will be fine for that much net.

Normally we do not use netting for any of the equines, but with your mini donkeys you may be okay. I would look at a 3 strand fence first off, using Intellitwine Xtra. If you do go with a net, the Positive/Negative ElectroNet would be my choice.
