First Timer Feeding Question

[weisemaries]

So I am going to pick up my first goats tomorrow and I want to make sure I am doing things right in the feeding department. They are two nubian doelings that are about 2 months old, and have been mommy raised up to this point. What will I need to feed them besides milk and alfalfa pellets? About how many bottles a day will they need at this point? I keep seeing posts about grain and minerals, but when I went to TSC today to buy stuff, I was a little confused on brands and such. Any recomendations and advice from you all would be helpful!

I could be wrong, as I am new to goats and recently acquired my 3 doelings, but if your doeling was mama raised (not bottle raised) and 2 months old then she will be pretty much weaned and trying to get her on the bottle probably won't happen. 2 of my doelings are 3 weeks old and were bottle fed, so I am feeding them. The other doeling was 2 months old when I got her, mama raised and weaned when I brought her home. She does not drink milk. She drinks water out of a pail and eats hay and pellets.

I hope if I am wrong someone will correct me.
