RE: On the difficulties of fencing goats, and other things
I have thought about getting some goats. But we have a lot of coyotes in the area. And I don’t want to feed them

Goats are a wonderful addition to any farm. I might be biased! If it's just one or two coyotes I don't worry as long as the goats are a decent size. Around here they mostly eat rodents. If it was a whole pack and they got a smaller one separated from the group I would be way more concerned. Fencing, ad always, is the answer. And apparently an enigma.

I could fence in an area for night time. Fencing is so expensive
It's really expensive! The portable electric fence is the easiest to manage because it can be moved anywhere you want to park them, but it's not cheap.

That’s true but its easy for coyotes to get around. I have to give this more though. And go visit some of the people here who raise goats to see how they are doing it

Every night you here them circling, looking for food
