Wtb mineral stones + vaccinations (goats)+ electric fence

Post by diesel »

Today I asked some stores here if they sell mineral lick stones, but 0 results. Also some vaccinations for goats is impossible to get. So , who knows a store in Cambodia that sell that kind of things ( with knowledge)

Also I'm looking to buy a electric fence.

It would almost be easier to do a run over the border for a quick shopping trip...

Hey, any photos of your goats yet?

Even with electric fences , goats are hard to contain in one place, as they are natural browsers of food, taking a bite here and a bite there of the tastiest tips of plants and then moving on. Totally the opposite to grazing animals like cows and sheep. If goats are contained in one area they will eat anything and everything they can see.
If you do find a electric fence unite, don't go for a small battery powered one , and use multiple wires in the fence. One live wire about 250 mm above the ground, then a earth wire about 300 mm above that, and another live wire on top.
I'm speaking from experience.

I know goats are hard to keep between fences. But I built a wooden bar with good fences ,I built a wall around my land. 60cm concrete stones and 1.5 metal fence, and the inside I put electric wire (3)to keep the goats of the wall and the children can't feed them this way. This must be enough to keep them inside my land.
