What kind of hay for goats?

What kind is best?

[redcedarfarm]

Horse quality is the best choice for goats. DO NOT give wethers or bucks alfalfa hay. It can cause urinary calculi, a usually fatal condition and extremely painful. I feed my does alfalfa and my boys timothy and orchard grass hay. Good luck,Dawn

Since the question of feeding alfalfa to boys seems to keep cropping up lately, I thought I'd provide this link. This is a thread from last August that pretty thoroughly covers the alfalfa or grass question, what to feed boys, as well as what causes urinary calculi.

Alfalfa is bad for wethers and bucks?
