what kind of hay?

Okay, I would give him alfalfa hay then. When you feed bucks or wethers grain(phosphorous), you need to balance it out w/ calcium.

There are many plants to avoid for goats. Most grasses are okay. Purdue university has a toxic plant list you can look up if you need to.

2 have just developed "fish tails" and my black doe has a little brown on her-- both of which are signs. My problem has been that TSC argues with me that goats don't need copper and our store doesn't always get in the same mineral--but I called one of the grain elevators and he is looking into getting mineral for me, so I would have the same mineral each time and not have anyone argue with me about copper.

That's so odd..

Wonder what the soil molybdenum levels are? There's a really confusing interplay between minerals, but I know that high molybdenum levels can cause a goat to be copper deficient...somehow or another, I don't really understand it.
