I made my own goat harness, and I'm not sure if it fits right. So I was wondering; When a goat is pulling a cart, what part of his/her body should be pulling the weight? (like where it's tightest) Is it their chest? Their girth? Or neither? Thanks in advance!

this depends on your type of harness.

If you use a collar and hames harnes, the goat will pull the weight with it's shoulders. If you use a breastplate harness the goat the pressure of the pull will be transferred to the sternum and/or windpipe.

It also depends on the type of load. A heavy load has to pulled with a collar and hames harness.

And it depends on the conformation of the goat: many goats are too short in the region where the windpipe joins the chest to fit a breastplate properly.

NEVER! is a goat pulling with the girth. And what do you mean with "where it is tightest"?
