Does anybody have the ingredients to this?

looks like they add minerals and some sort of yeast product that they admit "may" be helpful. "May" is code talk for additives that people like, but has no proven benefit. Sounds like there is an oil additive, likely cotton seed oil.
Molasses helps keep minerals from settling to the bottom as well as increased palatability. But it also masks ground cob and dust. Pelletization does the same.
You should be able to look at the label or call their listed phone number. But if you were trying to replicate their proprietary ingredients, I can't help.
40% cracked clean corn, 20%oats, 20% spelt, 15% ground soybean meal, 4% molasses and 2% mineral salt with selenium, vitamins should be a good start. For a shiny coat add a bottle of corn oil.

I have used their PrimeGlo and PowerGlo. I use the PrimeGlo right now and really like it.

Why don't you want to feed it anymore?

I think I am going to mix my own ration. I just want more control over what i feed. Who knows? There might be cow manure in the feeds? I just feel safer knowing what i will be feeding.

Be sure to include plenty of vitamins and minerals. Most feed mills that mix feed can help you with the amounts.

The vitamins and minerals will come from their alfalfa, loose minerals, vitamin block, and good quality browse and pasture. I am trying to make grain the smallest part of their diet. But thanks!

Mature, dry and open goats don't need grain. Growing, milking or bred generally do. As long as your soil, plus the soil where your alfalfa is grown isn't deficient in selenium, you might be fine for selenium if it is also in the loose minerals that is always there.
I agree, grain should be the smallest part of their diet. But even a small amount will keep them coming to you every day.
