Hello, I have 10+ acres of pasture that my family has used for cattle and goats in the past but for about the last 10 years it has either been cut for hay or used for horses. Needless to say the fencelines are fairly overgrown. My plan is to start raising cattle and a small herd of goats to follow behind them. But before i can set up an electric fence i need to clear some overgrown fencelines. I have cleared alot of the fence by hand but it is already starting to grow up again. I was thinking about trying to set up some portable type fence near the fenceline so the goats would be eating most of the brush i need them to. Could I set up a fence like this and then stake the goats up inside of it so they couldnt go through the perimeter fence? I know this is usually not a good idea but i thought that if they were still contained inside of a fence with a guard dog that it might be ok. We never used guard dogs when we had goats but the cattle did protect them some. This may be a ridiculous idea but im really not sure what my options are. What would you folks do? Thanks in advance
By the way, I am located in North Georgia. About 3/4 of the land is flat, the rest is hilly with some woods.
