Loving the herd life
What would the minimum size of the paddocks be for 6 does be in a rotational system? The paddocks will consist of browse and pasture. My hay pasture consists of 1/3 mix alfalfa, red clover, and timothy.
I've read some literature that says clover can be bad for dairy goats. That said, I've visited a few farms were they tether their does in clumps of white Dutch clover. Is it a red vs white clover issue or no issue at all?
We are in the process of purchasing 10+ acres across the road that are in soybeans now. If that goes thru, that will become a similar hay field. The hay mix I use is a great selling hay for show horses. I don't really want to lose out on that income source.
Thanks
