dual purpose fencing
Author: JT

We would like to get poultry netting, or some kind of semi-permanent netting, for 25-50 free-range chickens on pasture. We are also contemplating adding larger livestock to this rotation. Is there a dual purpose fence for chickens and goats, or chickens and a cow? I am wondering if the voltage from the poultry netting is sufficient to keep a cow in, or if we will need to get two fences and rotate the animals separately. What is the downside to using other semipermanent netting for the chickens instead of the poultry netting?

To hold chickens you should use poultry net. The same net can be used for cows
and goats but you will need a much larger area. If the power in the fence will hold
in the chickens it will hold the cows.
