Feeding time with goats can feel a little like opening the doors at a Black Friday sale. One minute everything is calm, the next it’s a mad dash with a lot of jostling, bleating, and wide-eyed excitement. Goats are smart, curious, and sometimes downright pushy when it comes to food, which makes feeding both fun and a little chaotic.
Some folks swear by set feeding times, while others let their goats browse and graze more naturally throughout the day. Then there’s the question of how to keep the greedy ones from hogging all the goodies while the shy goats hang back.
So let’s talk goat mealtime! Do you feed on a strict schedule, or do you prefer free-choice hay and browse? Have you found any tricks for keeping peace at the trough when everyone wants the “best bite” first?
What’s your feeding-time routine like with your goats?
