I'm reading lots of books and they say that each Mature Doe needs non legume hay (all they can eat) and 3 lbs of supplemental grains (I use Dumor Show Quality feed which is expensive.) Then lactating or pregnant does eat up to 5lbs. The breeder was feeding much less than that and when I measured it out it was a huge quanitity, but the goats do seem hungry, so I've been increasing their feed to get them up to the stated levels. Are these levels correct?
I have the dairy herd on an acre lot which they have eaten down and I'm carrying in their food to monitor milk quality (when I get that far.) They're eating freshly cut and baled timothy or bermuda/coastal mix (switching to all bermuda/coastal.)
Am I doing this right? Help! I'm getting confused.............too late, I AM confused :haha:
