We have a pasture fenced in with hog/goat wire with t-posts. I let some (does, kids) out to browse the trees, and some in the fence, then switch them out. I have found that they will not stray far without each other or go away from the herd.
I do spend a lot of time with them, handle them, talk to them and watch them, but have not had any trouble with them getting out of fence, at least in 2.5 yrs, sinced I've owned goats.
Even my bucks are good. The only trouble I have had in the past is an aggravating wether ~ who constantly got out, so I kept him tied, until I sold him.
If you have a goat that shows the others ~ then it is over.
