Thanks NY, I have been thinking, sometime dangerous for me to do such things but I have. Wooden post, have to dug a hole to put the post in, with the metal, can drive them into the ground with a post hammer. Makes me lean that way for sure, Then use hog wire to keep my goats, sheep, cows in. Thanks for your wisdom.

With that amount of fencing I would also recommend metal posts. We have them for our horse. They work fine and in our neck of the woods they are about $4.00 per post cheaper than wooden posts.

gc, metal is good, and when you sink the stabilizers, if you use metal for them, make sure they are painted with a rust retardent. For goats, we use 4", as 6" wire allows the goats to get their heads stuck. The fence is about 36" high and we run 3 barb wires across the top. They are imps, and curious anf fun to watch. Did you know that they will travel about 6.3 miles a day foraging, I'm speaking of Spanish goats. What kind of goats are you going to raise? Our foreman raises goats, so we have to keep them fenced. At the moment, he is crossing Spanish goats with Boar, for the meat.
