A question about a thought of mine.

Oh, it wouldn't be quiet if a kid kept hitting its mom with that nasty pointed thing! And the more motherly does would allow them to try to nurse anyway and end up getting a shredded udder. I don't think you'd want to use a nose ring on a goat anyway. They're very soft and sensitive. Looks like a great way to injure their noses and make them horribly head shy.
