Feeding Bucks

[Melbertsch]

Ok, I know ive read this before on here, but please refresh my memory. My buck is currently in a small pasture with spring browse, weeds and not much else. He has free choice hay, golden blend minerals and water. Does this sound like enough? The does and babies get purina goat pellets and alfalfa pellets, free choice golden blend minerals and hay, with the occasional BOSS and rolled oats. Should I be feeding the buck more? When the babies are weaned can I cut back on what the girls get? I am not milking them. What about the youngsters? Thanks!

The buck should be perfectly fine with what he is getting.
You should be able to cut back on the girls as the kids get older, and by midsummer you should not have to supplement their diet as long their pasture is ok and they get hay.
