"Keyhole-shaped access points to mangers will prevent your goats from wasting their feed and hay. Make the opening higher than the goats can reach from the ground, and give them a step." GoatWorld Note: I've seen a similar set-up used at a dairy farm where I worked in Missouri. In my opinion, you may need to make different sized setups for different sized goats - young kids, smaller breeds or larger breeds, etc. There is also a similar setup using "slatted" openings. Only experimentation on the right setup will determine what works best for your goats.
