Looks like it. Goats do better with just a collar like a dog collar then a halter.

Looking it you have it wrong. The thick piece across her muzzle should actually be below under her jaw . So you have it backwards in a sense. I use halters and collars for my herd and I prefer a halter myself

I have a coller on her that's what ive been using but she breaks out of the fence alot and it really has no affect on her and I don't like to grab the horns so I picked these up at tsc for 3 dollars because I thought the put pressure in the nose area to make them walk I just cant seem to get it on right

I like those and have a couple. It gets their attention better than just a collar.

You can have the thick part over or under. Whatever works for your goat.

Move the behind the head piece a little higher on her neck, just under her ears.

The part that tights up goes under the chin. You should also keep your hand close to the head for control. Be careful if the goat jumps and pulls the nose part to tight it can break there nose. Happens more with goats then sheep in my experience.

The part that tightens up goes under the muzzle, with the lead on her left. It works better that way.

Lost one that way....rope halters are not really for goats.....they can smother real quick should that rope tighten on their nose.

For leading only. Not for tying up.

But they can choke with collars too if they get hung up. Goats pass out really fast when something tightens around their neck. Then they just hang themselves with the dead weight.
I either have a breakaway collar, which is my preference, or a halter on a short time.

Looks workable; however, I just yell, "yip yip yip" and here they come.
