Anyone know of any chemical free goat feed? (Organic or not)

Do you mean a goat pellet?

We just mix alfalfa pellets (pure, nothing added) with whole oats, and BOSS. We would add barley but cant get it in this area.

I can't think of a commercial "goat" feed that doesn't contain byproducts and additives. Some manufacturers of horse feed make natural and organic blends, that would probably be your only choice. I've gone to mixing my own because I can't find anything I like in a commercially mixed blend. Do you have a feed store in your area that mixes their own blends? You can ask where they get their grains. The mill I use has organic grains if you ask, but it does cost more.

Hay, browse, alfalfa or grass that is unfertilized and has had no herbicide or conditioners applied. That's it.

Kopf feed mill in Eugene, Oregon (or near there) does carry organic grain. One of our local feed stores carries it and I occasionally buy their organic rolled barley but I pay almost 15/50# for it. I get regular barley for 10.20/50#
