The Agricultural systems program at AIT maintains a small goat herd for research purposes on integrated agriculture with fish ponds. We are having some problems confining the goats to the experimental area of campus and keeping them out of the academic area. Can any one advise me on what it takes to confine goats. Could we use such simple methods as small canals, if so how wide would they have to be to deter goats. Will something like a cattle guard deter them, and finally how about single strand barb wire, etc.Any information would be most useful.
Thank you for your assistance.
