[Jacob-list] Wild sheep

Yes, I have used that type of harness on young goats and lambs, they 
grow out of the biggest dog harnesses by 4-6 months.And they still 
aren't used to having anything on their face. The harness just gets them 
used to walking with you without fighting your control - in the show 
ring its best not to have any kind of harness on them.
