Wrong feed delivered...

I didn't check that bag and didn't notice till Buster (The buck that is at my place) started to spit the feed out. The ingredients list is Cracked corn, Cracked Oats, Molasses, Soybean meal, Roasted Soybean (ground), Distillers, Soy Hulls, Limestone (Calcium Carbonate), Salt, Dicalcium Phosphate, Magox, Sking?, Gluten Feed 21%, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Vit E, Copper Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Ferrous Sulfate, Vit A, Vit D, Cobalt Carbonate, And Eddi Iodine. Protein is 15.1%, Fat 4.5%, and Fiber 6.1%. I believe this is Cow feed. Is this going to hurt the boy? I usually only give him a hand full a day as a treat. With a 100 pounds of it and no cow to feed it to i'm kind of wondering what to do with it if it's no good for him

I doubt it wil hurt him since goats are pretty flexible in what they can eat. Do you have a label from a bag of goat feed to compare it to? The one you need to compare is the nutrition label since all feeds are combinations of grain anyway. And with the small amounts you feed him I dont see how it could hurt

Call the MIll. It does not sound like anything that will hurt him.
