Stupid dumb goats :)

Might mean they just need more groceries than what you're providing them. If you were hungry, you'd do what was necessary to get to more food too. And if you're gonna break in and steal food, why not go for the good stuff? Maybe a flake twice a day isn't enough?

I don't see how they can't be hungry. They get 2 acres of pasture that is super tall. Plus the get 4 flakes of hay a day.

Our goats get hay all day long as much as they want to eat plus the pasture and grain.....i cant believe im having a hard time keeping weight on the does

But yeah they should be just fine, if they were laying over flat on their side and not moving i would be worried otherwise i wouldnt.

The fact that the pasture is "super tall" indicates that the goats aren't eating it down. They can be incredible picky eaters and they much prefer browse to graze... from what I've heard, many will eat the woody weeds and leave the grasses... Cut some tree branches and give them to the goats. I'll bet they go nuts over the leaves and bark Most folks that have goats have a good quality hay available to them 24/7. One of the problems many encounter is "waste" hay where the goats pull it out of the feeder onto the ground and then won't eat it, or pee/poop on it then won't eat it (maybe they're making a statement? better quality please?) But I think that's more a feeder design issue... I don't know... Just throwing it out there.

Thank you for your input. There pasture has black berries, oak trees, pine, and all different kinds of grass seeds.
