Hi,
I am writing out of desperation because I cannot keep my pet goats contained! I have a 4' tall mixed chain link and 2 X 4" (rectangular openings) 4' tall wire fencing with metal "t" posts. I thought the goats were climbing the wire fence, but this weekend I observed that they have now grown tall enough (nubians) that they simply jump over it! I buried my fence posts so that they only stick out of the ground 4', so I have no space at the top to run higher barbed wire. Do you guys have any kind of electric netting, lines, or other product that I could run connected to the fence I already have? I noticed that they do put their front hooves on the top line before they go over, so it would probably deter them if that part was electric. I am fencing about 3 acres, so the cheaper the idea, the better! I just don't know about running electric in front of (and attached to?) wire - will that ground out the type you have? Also, many yards of this fence run through forest where limbs touch - would this ground out the electric net? I really appreciate your ideas and help with this. Please feel free to write me at this addres. Thanks! Cara
P.S. I also emailed your company directly before I found this bulletin board.
