Thank you so much for all the replies. I have been lurking on here for a little bit, trying to look at past threads, so I can see that there are 100 different ways to feed your animals. 
. My friend is all very natural wants to use no medication/ vaccinations complete organic.... lots of really good ideas BUT she has not had goats for even two years. She has read lots and lots and that is where she is gleaning her info from. And now that she has some actual experience with goats she is changing some of her ways to be a little more pracitical. My dh grew up with goats and sheep and he felt it was too much of a hassle and so I wanted to do my own researching about soaking their grains. Cleopatra (the goat) likes the soaked grains but I do not do it every day and she does like it better dry - even the peas. The ratio she gave me was suppose to be for 18% protein.
That's a very interesting article. It doesn't say that the grains were actually soaked. And when I do soak them I cover the mixture in water and then just a glub of the ACV. Hmmmm, I'll do some more looking.
