Flies!

[IdahoNancy]

Fly tape can help a bit. Those long sticky things that are all twirled up. They are non-toxic in case the goats do get a hold of them. I attach both ends to the barn ceiling and leave a loop hanging down, my ceiling is low. One of my goats a few years back would wait until it was completely full of flies before he would try to eat it. He was tall and could reach the tape stretched up on his back legs. Of course it would wrap around his face and stick to him. He would give you that "help me, can you get this off my face" look.
