Dumor goat feeds are in the limits of an ideal balance to help prevent UC, all but the Dumor sweet goat feed we carry (cant remember if goat chow has it) at tsc have added AC in it, and if you got the Mana pro mineral it has AC in it as well.

The sweet makes for good milk there are just better ways for your money to feed them.

if you got the dry pellets for her, we personally think it has an off taste from it but not too bad its drinkable still.

I know a great deal of things been sprung on you and I hope that you dont feel overwhelmed. Ive changed things here dozens of times and still dont mind trying something different as long as its logical.
I love going to other farms and seeing what works for them, even though I may not like or see the practical side of the way they do things I keep an open mind to see if I can extract anything useful.

Yes I got the dry feed. Did you get the off taste from dry or sweet feed?
