whats your hay rack fitted to?
can't you put a "porch" or cover over the top... as long as it doesn't drip down onto the goats!

Have you asked this before? Maybe it was someone else? Or did I dream it had been asked?!!!

If hay gets wet, I doubt your goats will eat it. If the rack has a top on, it should keep it dry or dryish. Wet hay is not good for livestock. Perhaps on the wet days put less out, if you do not want to be bringing it in and out.
