When you are choosing an electric fence for goats, do not focus on the miles of fence but focus on the joules. Goats need an absolute minimum of 8 joules, or 5,000 volts. If you are only fencing 1/4 of an acre and the fence charger says &#;8 joules, 100 miles&#; then it still is the fence charger for you.

Larger goats do well with cattle panel fencing although small kids can sometimes slip through the squares. Field fencing also works well for goats, especially when combined with an electric strand or two. Some goats are excellent jumpers, and these goats will need a top strand of electric to help discourage them.
The fencing needs of cattle somewhat depends on the breed and temperament. Brahmas may be able to be contained with a single wire 2&#; off the ground because they can&#;t be bothered to step over the wire. Angus bulls, however, need much more fence. Dairy cattle breeds are generally easier to fence than beef cattle. Cows can actually be pretty hard on fences.

On the range, most cattle are contained with barbed wire. Electric fences on the range are not practical due to the length of the fence and grounding issues with dry soil. Barbed wire is not really suitable for most farms or homesteads unless they only run cattle and are located in a dry scrub area. Barbed wire is inexpensive, but it is dangerous for horses and small livestock.
Most cattle do well with electric and unless you own small livestock you can get away with 2 or 3 strands. Cattle generally need 1 joule or greater per mile of fence. Cattle are larger animals and require taller fences, generally about 4&#;. Cattle panel and field fencing are also suitable for cattle although field fencing should have a top strand of electric to discourage jumping and pushing against the fence. Cattle are strong and they will push against a fence if they think the grass is greener on the other side. Cattle can, and will, push a field fence down if it is old or not installed properly.
Cattle panel fencing is much stronger than field fencing and is generally recommended for cattle over field fencing. Cattle can push against field fencing and stretch or ruin the fence if there is not electricity or barbed wire run with the field fencing. Cattle panel fencing is designed for&#;cattle. You can occasionally find cattle panel fencing with a smaller distance at the bottom between wires. Most panel fencing sold this way is actually hog panel, which is much shorter than cattle panel. In my area it is rare to find new cattle panel with narrow spacing.
