| How about trying the portable electric fence from premier. It's powered either by solar or battery or 115 volt. I think it may even be more reasonably priced, and more portable for your needs.

Long ago, we'd Stake out cattle. I remember helping to hammer our axel Shafts into long stakes for this. We'd drive the stake threw a ring, and the ring to a light chain (depending the animal in question) and then move the Peg and water pan. Would this work with goats? If you are in an area with no dogs, coyotes, etc running around. I stake mine out but close to the house and we have no predators here. If they are not in danger of getting in a road, just let them loose in the area you want them in and then keep moving them back and be prepared to watch your flowers, plants, trees get a trim too.

I am not sure about goats, but sheep should NEVER be staked out. They are flocking animals and need to be together and allowed to wonder or they get stressed. This is not a simple "I'm stressed" situation, this would stress them to the point that they would suffer to the point of being debilitated.

Tell a welfare recipient they must work and they call their congressman. Tell a farmer he can no longer work and he commits suicide. No wonder 1/2% of the population feeds the other 99-1/2%!!

Goats don't do well staked out unless you can watch them all the time. They are so active that they get tangled a LOT.
We use the Premier 1 electric net fencing. It's so easy!
