All animals are feed Chaffhaye 1-2 times per day depending on time of year, excluding 2 months during later pregnancy.
Timothy grass hay, Alfalfa when needed.
Calf Manna is feed every year to kids and this years' main grain is County Feeds 17% textured. As needed, other grains will be added.
Goats are always able to get 1 or more type(s) of mineral and baking soda is available(for bloat).
Goats have plenty of different shelters and bedding year-round. Different pens are used to separate goats on age or size depending on the time of year.
Hay feeders on the 2 different pens set up currently are external feeders(outside of where goats travel)covered with tarp or inside barn, minimizing waste and contamination. This also allows for reasonably large amounts of quality hay to be provided to all goats 24/7, greatly reducing the stress on goats by being forced into close proximity to more aggressive goats.
