Best Fencing Material for ND Kids

Posted by Christie Noah McGinnis on December 3, 2012 at 2:19pm in Goats 101
We have our backyard fenced in sheep and goat wire 12.5GA 4 X 4

My two newly weaned kids will be coming in the spring. I am planning to use a corner of my existing fence and build on for their pen. I worry the 4 x 4 holes in this wire may be too big for Nigerian Dwarf babies. Can they wiggle thru it? Should I restring their area in something different.

    If I were to do it all over, I think I would use chicken wire... just because it's more sturdy. I used zip ties to attach the netting, but again, if I did it over, I'd use the chicken wire, and hog rings to attach it.

    Great idea.  That will save some cost on the outer corners of my pen.

    Thanks C

    I used birdnetting at the bottom 1/2 of my fencing, and it keeps *most* babies in. lol We have a 'scape goat here.
