goats ,, ughhh dont get me started,, ok you can because I still have some,, I found that you have to either 1- have electric fence close together so they cant walk through them,, [I've watched mine walk thru with a charge that knocks me on my butt-{big butt}],,,,2- the expensive way but very effective cattle panels,, or even a wooden horse fence with electric between the open rails,,, I ended up going with cattle panels, eay to put up,, virtually no maintence,and easily moved if you need them to be,they are 16' long 52" high,, about 15 bucks apiece,, I ended up making a few paddocks 75x150 more or less back to back and am able to disconnect the panels and move them forward or back when the grass is gone seems to work well, I have no complaints and like the fact that it dont short out, if I had the money my whole "farm" would be done in cattle panels,, but approx 25 acres pasture is too much,, even a small pasture of 5 acres would be a pocket expense,,, but once its up leave it and forget it,, as far as chargers I never liked the solar or battery,, I always went for the biggest electric I could find.. works great for the horses and cows,, but goats seem to not even worry about them much,, even my dogs get bit once and know to stay away,, I would try the closer strands,, but then you NEED to keep the grass and weeds down to operate,, my 2cents.good luck pat
