Ohhhh, that makes MUCH more sense! 🤪

So it isn't as affordable as it seems at first glance? Typical. I think I'll just stick with alfalfa/timothy pellets and hay.

What is TMR? Too much rrrr...something? 🧐

I asked this question in one of my other posts, but it's kinda long and in another thread, so I'm moving it here. Does anyone know if the goat ration from Elk Grove is a good feed option? It has grain screenings, which seems iffy, but if it's a quality ration, it's really affordable...

So I cruise Craigslist instead of Facebook and sometimes come across things that make me wish we could leave comments. Poor sheepies!

Awww, so sorry!
