Hello All
Nanno I like your Husbands ideas. I run to that attitude also, Security is a major topic with livestock as well as on some Prepper sites I frequent.
Here is the problem I know as horse person somebody that wants to steal a horse will just cut the fence and walk off with the quietest/most friendly horses in the pasture. (usually the best ones too)
A full farm acreage is kind of hard to protect unless you have deep pocket.
From what I see here most pen up you goats at night Right?
Many use Electric fence for containment?
As I do here for horses at home and on the trail and plan on using the same system for my goats here.
BTY: I use BI-POLAR from horseguardfence.com it is a web tape that carries both the Hot and Ground side from your fence charger on the same tape. My fencer puts out 7000 volts and will run 50 miles of fence off a 12 volt garden tractor battery for a month or better.
If you have electric fence now anyway just run a wire around the bottom about 12-18 inches off ground.
For you hubby Janno tell him it is tripwire to a more effective device.
Make a gate were you normal go in and out
Another advantage it will help keep dogs, coyotes and kids / visitors away from the goats.
Cameras are always a good idea I use them here on foaling stalls and after that is over relocate them for property security.
One last item: You have an intruder with bolt cutters to cut a lock off what is to stop them from just cutting the main fence line in a blind spot or out in the field?
As far as no Trespassing Signs go, I prefer the on that goes "Trespassers will be shot ,Survivors will be shot again."
No shovels needed here our milking goat neighbor has a small backhoe tractor and is a Vietnam Vet that has a very strong dislike for trespassers especially around HIS goats.
OBTY: I only have ONE Computer Game the MS Mec Warriors Yes have been playing it all these years, He will know how old it is.
I wish there was something like it out NOW , Any Recommendations that will run on a PC???
Happy Trails
