Where to place the goat hobbles so they work effectively? When you are milking a difficult goat, it is important to make sure the hobbles are on the goat’s upper back legs. If you put them on the lower leg, your goat will simply kick them off. By placing them up high you will keep her legs secure yet still allowing her some movement. This helps her to remain calm once the hobbles are secured into place. Another use for goat hobbles is maintenance time. If you have a goat that hates to have their udder shaved, body clipped, or other routine work by using the hobbles you will save yourself a headache and possible injury. By securing the back legs you will be able to do most of your routine work without too much trouble. SIZE: The middle strap measures 2″ wide x 3-1/2″ long.
