Yes! Don't use them unless you want to risk a dead goat. They can easily get their head tangled inside and get hung.

Well kidding season has started at my house. Two sets of twins and a handful of singles. I've been worried about first freshness as they were all bottle babies and are a bit undersized but they have been doing well so far and only have two left to go.

Too cut for WORDS

Yes, ditto that! Hay nets and goats do not get along. A similar option though is a hay bag. The ones that are all canvas with a hole cut out. I've used those successfully. They don't seem to get tangled in them like the nets. That's just my experience though, YMMV

Finally! Ligaments are gone now on another doe. No plans to go to town this morning though so Will I actually see this birth? Probably not ... She's a stubborn goat. She'll cross her legs and hold them in til I leave. LOL

Those really are adorable babies.
