I had been having a problem with one of my Nannys getting her head stuck in the woven wire fences I have. I tired of extricating her 4-5 times a day REAL fast! I was afraid that she would get stuck on some nice hot 100* day and I wouldn't be around to save her skin from broiling in the heat. I decided to try this headgear - it's the latest in goat fashion! It's been 2 weeks and she has not been in the fence yet! Should have done it sooner! It was cheap (free) easy, and she doesn't mind it being there. Whaddya think?

I dont have a problem with goats in England - I dont go anywhere near them - so dont get a problem! LOL

Years ago an old farmer told me that whatever side of a fence a goat was on, its was the wrong side. I have same problem in my house with doors and cats !!!

Cheers david

I thought about rigging up a tuner in her jaw so I could have a four-legged radio....

I'm not worried about her getting caught up with the other goats, the nannys don't butt heads much and they don't pack together like cattle.

Been a few decades since my grandfather had goats or for that matter even been alive, but he usto use a Y tree branch and hook that around the gaots necks so they could get hung up in the fences. Just another idea for you if you have more problems. We lost a couple goats that way but it wasn't from heat but the got stuck and then something came in and ate there heads. Since then we put a hot wire on the inside of the fnece ate about there head level and that has stopped the problem here.
