What is the scientific name of the coral trees you decided to make a living fence from?

Thanks for your answers. I'm not sure about the effectiveness about the electric fencing - having the goats escape could be disastrous. I'll try to put up a stronger high perimeter fence first.

Hello,

I have land, which I've left for regrow for 5 years. The previous grass pasture is now full of tea trees, small eucalypts, some lantana, wattles and other woody shrubs. I hope to use boer goats to reduce fire risks instead of burning off. What would be the maximum number of adult boer goats that I could keep in a mobile 50x50m electric fence area for a week with such feed? There are 10+ 50x50m areas I can rotate them to each week.

What about geese and a geese house with it's entrance over a dam? We have plenty of grass, snakes, and foxes. Would the geese stay, defend themselves, and be able to feed themselves sufficiently? The dam is about 25 meters diameter - would they mess up the dam over time?
