Goat Fence Finished -- Well almost

Well we finally finished the Goat fence in the lower field except for one gate which we have to make. We have the little buggers down there at this point and hopefully it will hold them in. Otherwise we might have to shoot them (just kidding, well sort of).

As you can see from the pictures it goes on for awhile and in all honesty we are pretty proud. It took a bunch of work but we used mostly trees which were already down, or the upper parts of trees we are using for the "cabin" so it was pretty much found wood. Certainly not all the milling came out super wonderful but the rails look nice and the whole structure feels pretty solid. We have room at the top for another rail if we see reason for it but fully expect they will stay in at the current height.

As I'm writing this seven goats just went by. Obviously our fence isn't perfect. Fortunately they got out through the temporary closure for the gate so hopefully once we have the gate up we'll be golden.


We also think the gate makes the place look a bit classier. though of course we aren't prejudiced.
