Overrun with beasties
Alright so I have a lot of questions~!
This will be a long time off of course, but I am looking into different types of feed for my goats. I plan to plant this in my pasture for them to graze. Will it be good enough?
Great Plains Sheep Forage Blend
Raising sheep in the Great Plains requires a high quality pasture able to withstand the snowy winters and hot summers. Our Great Plains sheep pasture blend contains a selection of grasses and legumes designed to provide nutrient-dense, palatable forage for your sheep, lambs and lactating ewes. We’ve also included birdsfoot trefoil and chicory to help control internal parasites in sheep and lambs.
This blend produces a pasture that will contain approximately:
I am also thinking about using the dumor sheep feed. Are the bagged feed what is considered grain? Sorry I am very new to this.
DuMOR Sheep Formula is a high-quality, nutritious pellet designed to bring the best supplemental nutrition to your flock. No copper is added, but plenty of high-quality protein and digestable fiber are included to keep sheep healthy and performing up to their potential.
Guaranteed Analysis:
Crude Protein (min.) 16.00% (This includes not more than 1.00% equivalent crude protein from non-protein nitrogen), Crude Fat (min.) 2.00%, Crude Fiber (max.) 16.00%, Calcium (Ca) (min.) .75%, Calcium (Ca) (max.) 1.25%, Phosphorus (P) (min.) .50%, Salt (NaCl) (min.) .40%, Salt (NaCl) (max.) .90%, Selenium (Se) (min.) .30ppm, Vitamin A (min.) 3,000IU/lb, Ruminant meat and bone meal free.
If I plan to show my sheep, is there a different feed I should be using, like one of the show feeds?
