Hi, we have Boer goats and have had no problem with them at all, they are very friendly and we only have standard stock wire with a strand of electric at the top to prevent them leaning on the wire, I would say go for it your other half will love them and even our billy is a sweetly, good luck, buy castrated if you are only wanting for meat as your growing time is restricted if you grow on entire billies.
