And to minimize that you are going to have to keep the goat within sight (200ft) and also physically check on it every 3 or so hours.
While this is doable for 1 animal once you have three or so its too much.
With a fence you would be able to keep 6-7 animals in a 1/4 acre for a week hardly every needing to visit them.

I guess the big problem would be the area they would prefer to feed would be shruby and prone to entanglements. I'm not totally sold on electric fencing...mainly because it depends on a power source.
