Hi Megan,
I think Benice is right - the goats train us. You'll definitely need a fence to keep them from going where you don't want them to be. There's really no way around that in my opinion.
I spent the better part of a year or more figuring this out. Our goats have it all - nice forests, lush green pastures, plenty of kudzu to eat, etc. But you know, every time they went up to the neighbors place. I have a theory about this - I think that goats tend to head toward higher ground rather than lower. Our neighbors place is just up the hill.
Best regards,
