So You Think You Want Goats, Part 2b

08/21/20 • 35 min

For Part 2B of our series- So You Think You Want Goats, I'm going to continue the nutrition discussion, now switching gears to grain and additives or supplements that may be already added to prepared grain, or ones you may add yourself. What is a "medicated" feed? Should we be feeding grain with ammonium chloride? Should we be feeding grain at all?

So You Think You Want Goats, Part 2A

So you still think you want goats? You're going to end up a crazy person like me who can go off on an almost-full-podcast-length talk about differences in cuts of hay.

Part 2 of So You Think You Want Goats is focused on hay- cuts of hay and the differences between them, practicalities of feeding your goats hay, important considerations for providing water to your goats, and some goat keeping protips related to hay and water.

Talking for 40 minutes about hay and water sounds kind of silly and basic, but it's the foundation of feeding your goats, so I hope this is at least a bit of helpful information!
