When a goat is in its natural environment, it would be more difficult for the predators to get access to them because they would be resting in spaces quite difficult to reach; such as nooks and crannies and mountains and halfway up trees. Creating these artificial spaces to farm them we have opened them up to large spaces where their natural predators have much better access to them. Our fault entirely! Thus it is one of the tunes we are receivers of.

As someone who has been raising dairy goats for 41 years, a word of advice on fencing... actually two words; cattle panels. It's more expensive than the wire fence but you'll never have to replace it. Just walk the parameters every now and then to make sure the panels are still firmly connected to the posts. (I use U-bolts on the posts.)

Also, since you live in an area with wolves, you might want to get a couple of stockguard dogs or donkeys.

Best of luck with your caprine beasties.
