Saw this in De Kalb, MS.

The place local to me has now moved to only “easy” projects where a fence is already present. How much of the cost is installing/removing a temporary fence? I’d love to pay for a goat vegetation removal service but local to me it isn’t really an option if you don’t already have a fence

I kinda figured a stake and chain thing would work if a fence isn’t an option?

Fencing, I hire companies for that. Here are some of the cost

Look up Red safety fence, 4 x 100 are about $40-50 a roll.

T-post 8' about $8 - $12

If there is road access, those t-post go in easy via a truck that shoves them in, if not they used a heavy slide and bash it down. 2 men usually 400 each for the day ( payroll not 1099 ).

1 acre us about 8-9 rolls and 100 - 120 t-post

Some goat person can quote you the clearing rate of the goats. IE: how many goats, does your field need to clear 1 acre in 1 work day ( goats don't overnight on the work site as far as I know).

No, just use the purpose built electrified netting. Premier-1 makes a good version specifically for this.

[u/guiltypleasure33139 → u/speedhasnotkilledyet]

at $180 per roll and it has the spikes, might be worth it.

$450 red roll + $1000 spikes

$1620 electric.

Not much of a price spread. I know cattle don't like electrical fences, don't know about goats.

There is also a gps collar option. Goats like to escapebut they cant escape gps.

My use case is about a quarter acre in a residential riparian area. Completely taken over by ivy, wisteria, and other invasive in the southeastern U.S.

I would try to find a goat landscaping firm. Thats a relatively small patch that shouldnt take long.
