Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Norma Sutton <sweetspringfarm@gmail.com>]

Hi Doug,
That is what I have for my winter barn pen.  I have to tighten it up periodically and I do have a break along the bottom.  I'm slowly switching over to the horse panels.  They are 5 feet high with 2x4 openings.  The cattle panels work, but don't contain the kids when they are young.  It also doesn't flex like the woven wire does and I've found my dairy girls are really hard on any fence that will flex and will eventually walk it to the ground.

To contain our goat herd we use heavy duty, 12-gauge wire, five foot tall, horse fence with two by four inch rectangular openings. (Not the thinner, welded wire.)  12-gauge, 2" X 4" wire horse fence is commonly available.  We go to our local Home Depot Pro Desk and ask them for a bid (on orders exceeding $2000.)  They fax our request to their home office and generally phone us the next day to offer a 10% discount.
