soy free goat feed recipe

I am looking for a good recipe to mix up my own goat feed - one that is soy free. Does anyone have one they use? I have both meat and dairy goats.
Thanks.

Sure, most home mixed grains do not have soy in them, that I know of.

I use:

25lbs Barley
25lbs Oats
15lbs Boss
10lbs cracked corn

I give this to all the does, bucks, wethers, adults and kids (dairy breeds) whenever they need grain. For younger still growing kids I keep them on alfalfa and milk longer for the extra protein needs. Been using it for 3 years, very happy with results.

I can't get barley, but I also use the oats, Black Oil Sunflower Seed, small amount of cracked corn mix. They get a small bit of that mixed with alfalfa pellets (three pounds per goat per day.)
