A hardware store near me sells welded wire fencing, one 5 ft high and the other 6 ft. high, both with 2x4 inch spaces. Would either of these be good fences for goats?

Welded wire is also stiffer and more difficult to work with than woven wire. I use standard field fencing, but the closer 2x4 spacing would keep the babies from sneaking through.
Welded wire doesn't hold up as well as woven wire because the welds separate within a few years, sooner if the goats rub on them a lot. The 2-inch X 4-inch spacing is great though, and six feet would keep any ND contained.

I use welded wire for my goats and it seems fine for the does but the bucks have torn it apart we will have to get some other wire for their pen
