Our bucks are together and last year were on the fenceline with the girls. This year we have a pen that is away from all the doe pens, they can't see each other and I only keep the buck I am using for breeding this year in the pen that shares fenceline. He is easy on fences but a great indicator of heats and has been very helpful this year. this arrangement would not work with my other buck who is much more persistant.

I get the impression that goats could easily breed through a fence .

Bucks will go to some extreme measures to get to does in heat - I believe most ooops breedings are from buck getting into the doe pen, not necessarily breeding through the fence.
