Will a goat charge at you?

• <div><p>For the most part, goats are friendly and won’t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don’t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they’re near children or pets.</p></div>

Q: How long does a barbed wire fence last?

• <div><p>A barbed wire fence will last an average of 15 to 20 years, but the life expectancy can range anywhere between five and 50 years. Thicker wires last longer, as do fences made with galvanized metal. If the barbed wire fence is in a climate with harsh winters and summers, it likely won&rsquo;t last more than 10 to 15 years. Failing to keep up with maintenance and repairs will also shorten the lifespan of a barbed wire fence.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a fence and a privacy fence?

• <div><p>All fences offer some degree of privacy, but standard perimeter fences may not be designed with that in mind. Dedicated privacy fences, however, tend to enclose smaller areas and feature more high-end materials that truly emphasize seclusion and comfort. Additionally, privacy fences typically offer fewer gaps to peek in through than standard fences, though you can likely adjust that to suit your preferences. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to replace an existing fence?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-permit-to-build-fence.htm">Do you need a permit to build a fence</a> if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you. </p></div>

Q: How do you replace a fence post without removing concrete?

• <div><p>Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won&rsquo;t be as sturdy.</p><p>That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won&rsquo;t work well for metal posts.</p></div>

Gary, the owner, and his wife Pat always did what they said they would do. They may be a little expensive but they are good and also had comparable prices to the quotes of other companies. I felt very secure that they were good for their word. They didn't try to up-sell anything to me and...

It went very well. DogWatch was prompt, did their job and was gone in less than 2 hours. They installed approximately 1,000 feet of buried e-fence and the transmitter. The system was a little pricey but it has a lifetime warranty. Also, I got 2 collars ( a large and an extra large) because I...
