Woodland Pig fencing

I am looking to get to rare breed pigs to clear 4/5 acres of woodland
My plan is to split the woodland into separate areas and pens with breeding stock moving between sections and finishing stock moving around once they have cleared the area they are in.
Currently a lot of brambles, nettles and the occasional fern with sporadic self seeded trees (ash) as well as some nice oaks etc.
What’s my best way of fencing going to be? Would electric netting keep them in or should I be looking at stock netting and trying my best to reuse it as I move the pigs?
Any suggestions?

They need training to electric.
Once trained sows should be able to be kept behind 1 strand. Weaned piglets may need an electric net to start, but can be trained to a couple strands. Have to watch they dont bury the wire/ net with rooting.
