Alfalfa pellets??

[RustyDHart]

My goats and sheep all get a couple cups of Standlee Timothy/Alfalfa pellets (not cubes which they might choke on)
mixed with their grain or "all stock" pellets.

They waste so much of the natural alfalfa hay...but they eat every pellet so I'm thinking the pellets get more nutrition into their bodies.

Well, that's what I hope anyway!

Thanks, Maybe I'll buy a bag and try it out....if they don't like it...I'll mix it in with my Bantam feed

Ewe and ram lamb from last Spring....

Is it better to feed them alfalfa hay or pellets?:/

If you are feeding them grass hay, you can offer them alfalfa pellets. You do not want to feed JUST pellets. Ruminants need roughage (hay/grass) at least 4 inches long to keep their rumen working for the 'scratch factor.' So feed alfalfa hay if you don't feed any other type of hay or add alfalfa pellets if they're already getting grass hay.
