Kelp sources
Where do you get your kelp? Is there one kind better than another? How much would you feed?

I have been getting it for years from my feed store. They have ordered it for me, but now they can not get it anymore and I can not find it anywhere and my goats are not real happy about it either.

Supposedly if you can get it from cold waters, like northern Pacific or Atlantic Oceans, it is less polluted.

Check the ingredients list on your mineral or other feeds, some of the better quality products have kelp in the mix.

I found this place, would this be good for goats? Is the price reasonable?
