Can you feed a goat out of a net hay bag?

[Aped]

I may try hay-bags in the future but right now my hay feeder consists of a short length of welded wire fence stapled across the back corner of my pen. Then I just toss the hay in the little triangle it makes. The goats can stand on it with their front feet and they can get their mouths right in the holes so it works pretty well. I have a bottom brace of 2x4 going across the corner that the bottom of the wire is stapled two. It would be easy to clean out anything that falls below the 2x4. I wouldn't know yet because I accidentally brought the wire past the 2x4 to the ground but when I cut it, it will be easy to scoop out the fines and stuff.

 

[Run-A-Muck Ranch]

we have
4 adult pygmy goats(3 does, 1 buck)
4 baby pygmy goats(3 bucks, 1 doe)
5 dairy goats(all does) (2 nubian, 1 alpine, 1 saanin)
11 meat gots (all does) (all boar--some are boar/lamacha cross)

we have a ton of different feeders. I haven't found one that works better over the other either.
I have hay bags
hay nets
panels set up
manger style on the ground
wooden mangers off the ground
round bale holders
even tractor tire rims to hold the hay

ALL the goats (sheep, horses, llamas) eat the same, and outta the same feeders.

All seem to work great for us. like i said I haven't found one better over the other.
We use the round bale holders, and the tractor tire rims out in the pasture.
I use the wooden off the ground manger styles out in the 'corral/holding area'.
the nets, bags, panels, and on the ground manger styles are all used inside the barn in one place or another.
the bags work wonderful in the lambing and kidding jugs.
I use the panel set ups in the 'pre delivery areas'.
and the manger on the ground is the main feeding areas.
I do have a few hay bags/nets in the main areas too. some just use it for entertainment while eatting, others prefer to eat outta that then others.

I think most of it is just 'how your animals are with each set up'. obviously if they get caught in something you don't want to keep using it. That's why we had to get rid of our huge bale holder inside the barn. we made a huge wooden box with head holes for everyone to get to the hay on all 4 sides, well we had a few sheep that would get caught in it, so we ended up taking that out.
