Exploring the pasture
Hello!! I live in SoCal and am new to everything! I have never raised any livestock, just dogs in the past. I am moving from where I currently live to a much larger home. Still house hunting, but it definitely will have at least one acre. (I've actually found a few places... I'm trying to live near Los Angeles.) In the mean time, I would like to stock up on any info I can before jumping into this. (I think it'll take a year or so )
And I do have one question: diet for bucks/wethers? I've been reading online and find that it says, "___ per doe." Why only doe? Do males have a completely different diet? I've also read up on backyardchickens.com that everyone has a different diet for their goats... Other than hay, what are the basics of goat diets that *all* goat lovers can agree on? I am so confused about the goat diet, someone please help!
