Electric fence is a wonderful thing even alone especially if strands are fairly close together and tight. Be sure the charger delivers a real punch so they don't even think about testing it a second time. Years ago I had a cunning old doe that would chase a kid into the electric fence to see if it were turned on. She was a challenge!(posted 9660 days ago)Would it be possible to fence the garden? In picketing animals, be sure they can't tangle and hang themselves, dump their water or be at the mercy of stray dogs. Also be sure they always have shade as they can quickly die of heat, especially black goats. Again, good luck.
