Does and kids get a day out

Tried letting the does and kids out to graze late yesterday evening, spent an hour trying to run them out of the barn lot, only to have them beat me back to the barn. Ran them back out and locked the gate this time, the does stood at the gate screaming and the kids just kept testing the electric fence with their nose, and yes it is working. Tara's kid Shadow jumped through the wires, so I let them back in the barn. My goats are perfectly contented to lay in the barn and let me bring their feed to them. Brought them several sweet gum tree tops and they were happy. They are not happy with their new hay, they hate fescue hay, I only wanted them to have some roughage since they get alfalfa, not going to eat it. Still no bermuda hay available.
