Hello everyone
I am located in Southern Pennsylvania and have just started building my Nubian Dairy goat herd. We are coming out of the fields and pastures as grass is diminishing and I was wondering if anyone could suggest to me what I should be feeding as far as grain and minerals? They have full access to hay 24/7 but was wondering what they should be getting other than that. I have a Nubian doe bred and in milk - an alpine doe(not bred) - and a Nubian buck. Also a pygmy wether as a pasture friend for the does.
Any suggestions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I know that I need to be giving them minerals and I've also heard a baking soda feeder - but I'm not sure which minerals are best. For grain I am feeding Sweet Goat 16%.
Thank you
