Need the OB's help with pigmy goat pen building.

They'll get out of whatever you put them in, unless it's a concrete bunker.

That's what I'm thinking so I don't see the need to add an additional cost of $500 to $600 dollars to the project to use these steel panels versus welded wiring.

I was looking at the 2" mesh. I would think this is small enough to keep them from sticking their heads through the fence. Am I correct?

Not Pygmy goats.

You really need chain link or a smaller size panel wire. Regular old "hog wire" is perfect size for them to get their heads through, then get stuck because they can't get their horns back out.

Truff. I lost a boer goat by using cattle panels instead of goat ones.

To the OP, what I ended up with was electric fence for pastures and the smaller sized panels. Not the cattle ones, the size down.

You could do that and run a single hot wire too. That'll keep them away from it.

Thanks for everyone's answers. It's been a lot of help.

Every time I hear Pygmy goats, I think if this video. Cracks me up every time.
