    How Do I Bring Up Protein Levels?

    Most are yes. But this is a certified non-gmo farm. We are lucky to have them. If you are in NC, they are Barrier Farms in Mt. Pleasant: https://www.facebook.com/BarrierFarms/ Really great people

    How Do I Bring Up Protein Levels?

    I am trying to find non-gmo feed...that isn't $36 a bag. There is a feed mill near me that has a horse sweet feed but it is 12% protein. He also mills roasted soybean. According to Pearson Square, if I got a bag of that off him and mixed it 16% soybean and 84% sweet feed, then I would hit my 16%...

    Does anyone use Pat Coelby's mineral program?

    I know this is an old thread but I, too, wanted to see if anyone uses Pat Coleby's mineral program. I'm sold on the concept and want to use it myself. If you use it, how do you like it? What all do you give free choice? -sulfur (free choice?), copper (free choice or just in the grain mix?)...

    New Country Minerals & Kelp Question

    I was wondering if anyone has tried New Country Organics Minerals for Goats? The copper in it seems to be amazing compared to other brands (3,000 ppm). I picked up a bag at a local farm store to try, but I can't find any reviews of it online. One other thing, it contains kelp. I saw where...

    Hello everyone! I am getting my goats soon and want to stock up on some items, in particular worming medicine. I plan to treat naturally but I am open to chemical wormers when needed. The dairy I am getting my goats from uses cydectin on an as-needed basis and said they have great luck. So...

    I Predict Goats in the Near Future!

    Hey ya'll! It's been a while since I have been on here. I haven't had much goat activity in a while, so I haven't been on. But I just taste-tested goat milk for the first time (amazing and definitely a critical step if ya wanna get goats!) and got hubby's approval for the go-ahead! We just...

    Newbie question: Best way to get does bred...?

    Or...I may just get a male and find room for him. If he is next to the females but fenced separately will he be ok by himself or does he need a whether in with him? ...and this is how you go from 2 goats to 938483849023540 goats :th

    Newbie question: Best way to get does bred...?

    Well...worse case I know a lady close to me who raises Alpines and Nubians. I was thinking of Nubians as well...so maybe she will sell me some does and consider a studding service.
