Hay bale bags are a lot sturdier than a tarp, but I still wouldn't want to leave a goat unattended in a small space with one for very long. I penned Cuzco up in my patio area last week while the farrier was trimming my horses, and he actually figured out how to open the zipper on the bale bag and pulled a bunch of hay out. So it's not much good if you leave it with a determined goat for more than fifteen minutes, but it's sure nice for preventing those "I only turned my back for a second!" times.
