I am new to owning goats as pets/hobby. I have a question about wet hay. I know not to feed the goats moldy hay, but what about hay that got wet from blowing rain? Does hay in the rack need to be discarded because it got wet?

Mine are not happy about wet hay but they will eat it, I also give them no choice though. If you don't toss it just keep a eye on it and only give them a few days depending on how warm it is where you are so it doesn't mold
Thanks everyone. I keep 3 hay locations so I don't have shoving while they eat. One in shelter and 2 with small covering. If the rain blows it gets wet. My goats continue eating it, I just wanted to make sure it would not hurt them.
