I really appreciate the response.
We're working through the two bags of 12% that came with the goats, but that will be empty this week. We throw a large coffee can (~6 lbs.) in the feeder each evening. We keep the buck outside until the does have eaten their fill, then we turn him in to clean...
These guys are lean, but not thin, not thrifty. My hay options are abundant...alfalfa, orchardgrass, timothy, fescue, mixes, you name it it's available, but anything other than fescue mixes are expensive. I have to compete with horse people who have more dollars than sense. I've got forty-nine...
We have just obtained our first 4 goats...Nubian, (1) 5 yo buck & (3) 3 yo does, nobody's pregnant nor milking, right now. We released them into 4 acres of East Tennessee brush (imagine the bushes your momma made you pull a switch from and briar vines running forty feet into the pine trees)...
Super excited to be part of this community. I've been a member of backyard chickens since 2008...running about 80 layers, two dozen swedish ducks, narragansetts, and toulouse geese. But we've expanded over the last decade and now I'm venturing back into uncharted waters. We started Yorks in 2012...
