This weekend, we got our first wethers. 3 of them. They were raised by horse ranch owners who fed alfalfa hay. So, we got a 3 string of NM alfalfa but plan to switch them slowly to what is called Sudan hay. They also like leaves, twigs and branch bits from several trees in our yard. They never saw goat minerals until my house but I have seen them sample the minerals and the baking soda already. I bought a bag of goat treats but will wait to give them any. Reward is attention for now. 4 months later- Our 3 boys love Orchard Mix hay best but it is not widely available here. Rare treats they like best: raisins, craisins, cracking peanuts to share together. We never grain; however, they sometimes locate spilled birdseed under feeders. Only one of the three eat banana peel though. Sliced thin bits of apple and pear are loved by all.

If your goat-treats (called 4-way) have molassas give very sparingly 1/4 for pygmy to 1/2 cup for Nubian or Boar. Our goat eats carrots, broccoli, blueberries, raisins (ever so often), alfalfa hay every day, goat minerals (every day). I accidentally dropped a peeled banana and she ate it up. Ours is a house goat so she'll stare us down daggers if we have chips or crackers which we rarely share. People food not good.

Trees weeds and sunchokes lol They like my sweet potato peelings and now i know who gets my banana peelings :) Thanks this was helpful The people who sold me my goats gave me some sweet feed with them and minerals but never said anything about baking soda and ive heard this before in preventing bloat I love your idea for Mineral feeders and you could attach them to a wall easily with a screw or two lol I put out some minerals and they stepped in the dish and kicked it all over lol So i will try your idea and attach them in a way i can take them down to wash them if necessary I heard chicken feed is not good either like laying mash type has the wrong nutrients high calcium this way is bad but the scratch grains i give my chickens is just wheat barley and oats i believe its just whole grains so this should be ok in small amounts My thoughts was to get rid of the sweet feed and give them some grain and add sweet treats like sweet potato peelings banana peelings apples carrots etc what ever sweet veggies i have on hand and fruit And ruffage like hay, weeds, trees etc... I usually give grain in the morning and follow it with the weeds and grasses i pull from the garden

PaulAn Goats Vlog Hey friend! So exciting that you’re getting your herd going!!

Hello thanks for all your information videos. What about young goats 🐐 3 months and over?

And also what about oat hay? Thanks again!

ever thought outside the box on winter feed and protein sources other than grain? in ancient times Arabic Bedouins often fed their horses dried locust and honey and camel's milk to drink in the desert. in Asian countries where insects are delicacies for human consumption here in the states the Black Soldier fly in 47% protein, the adults are fed a clean diet of honey and oatmeal, fruits/vegies leftovers and in last stage before pupae stage to adult is pan fried/dried and coated with molasses or honey and fed to all farm animals with or without coatings (chickens all fowls can eat live) but also the larvae are dried milled into pellets, bagged and fed like a grain to animals. grasses for winter or all year can be done by growing different grains in fodder trays...barley is mostly number one, but winter wheat, alfalfa, timothy grass etc. can be fresh all year or dried for roughage for rabbits, goats, cattle....

Very interesting and informative. Question, feeding alfalfa, I would think that 1st cutting would be best, as it is new growth and should be more tender and slender. The stocks wouldn't be as large and seems they would eat the new growth better. What is your opinion? I don't have goats yet, but hope to get some this summer. Drought took all my pasture last year, so I have no pasture will most likely be feeding in a lot. Thank you.

Useful, thanks. More complicated than I thought. We get 2 goats next week!

Will do it differently each time depending in what i have. Great way to gibe copper. I break the bolus open and add to the cookie. Our goats also love banana peel more so thanbthe actual banana.

Yes,my goat eat grass,black gram plants,apple,guava,ladies finger, tomato,spinach...any leafy vegetables,except non vegetarian foods and eggs

Is orchard grass good that what people around my store gets

I occasionally pick a coffee can full of acorns for my goats, they absolutely devour them. Eventually they will be on silva pasture and will be able to eat them as they drop. As always, hay, grass, and browse, make up the bulk of their diet.

peanut hay!?! interesting. in this part of Calif., It's been suggested to alternate the Alfalfa with Oat Hay. as a 8 week goat owner I am doing all the learning I can! My biggest issue is I don't see the water level going down. Any suggestions as to how to encourage water ?? Nice video.

@DelcifromALifeofHeritage

We don’t have peanut hay here, so it’s a weird though to me too! 😆 A new water source can affect how a goat drinks. It may taste or smell different from what they are used to. You can add some vinegar to the water. This may help make the water taste better and encourage them to drink. My experience is that they will get thirsty and will start drinking but adding some vinegar will help.

Wow you are very smart

I have a question about pasture.. does a green pasture versus a dry yellow pasture does it Still give adequate feed to Goats ? I have a access to 10 acres of different types of weeds grasses that they Grazie year round the only thing is I don’t know if they’re nutritional value is sufficient in the summer when it’s triple digits in the crop is quite dry.(field isn’t irrigated)I’ve always supplemented with hay but just wondering if I could depend solely on my pasture? I have bigger alpine/boer/kiko cross weathers does and kids Thank you!!

Being a dry year can we feed them alfalfa cubes

"Goats eat everything" is an old belief. :) My old Greek/Egyptian father believed it, perhaps more so than most of my fellow Brits. But once I read a book on space exploration. The author, Robert Zubrin, wrote that he'd once read a book which recommended the use of goats in colonizing other planets. Zubrin's comment on this went something like, "I grew up in the city, but now I live in the countryside where my neighbors have goats. They escape occasionally, so I have a little experience with them. Don't let a goat near your kevlar dome, it'll eat it." That makes me laugh! But somewhere else I read that goats like not to eat but to taste everything. That might explain the belief and Zubrin's experience, especially if goats perhaps take a liking to some tastes which aren't actually food. Oh and minerals... I wouldn't be surprised if goats were sometimes kept without adequate minerals, and so tried to eat anything which tasted like it might have a little bit of the minerals they need. I know my eating habits get pretty wild after a phase of not eating a balanced diet.

I keep losing my goats. The symptoms are that they look happy just in a matter of minutes they feel calm and inactive. They later scream and in less than 15 minutes they are dead. Your video is helpful thanks

Meagan Morales I use these for my adult goats: www.amazon.com/UltraCruz-Copper-Bolus-Supplement-Adults/dp/B07TQ9B8H3 And one Bolus per goat. It will really depend on your area and how bad their deficiency is. It’s hard to say. Some areas and goats only need one a year while others need 4 a year. Start with one and watch for improvements. Take before pictures so you can compare after several months. I buy the goat mineral from our local feed store. It’s formulated specifically for goats. So when you buy some make sure it’s “for goats” and not “for sheep and goats”. I’m so glad they’ve been helpful!

I have one goat that ate a rusty oily tractor bolt, a stack of nitrile gloves, some fiberglass insulation then finished it up by licking my solvent tank. She sneaks into my work zone any chance she gets. Tried tethering her and she breaks the tether.

Are goats compliant with getting along with other animals?

My new wether ate the label off his feed bin, and nothing inside. We let him roam the yard, and even tho he has refused all grain, hay, pellets, treats, veggies he got a bag of empty chicken feed and ran like heck with it so he could chew it before I got it away from him. He ate the fake flowers from a memorial yard display, but refused any real flowers on our walk. He chose to eat cats claw (thorny) and a small latex producing plant. Nigerian dwarf.

Help I bought the books and chart from you a time back And I have never received them . Respectfully Barbara Thomas

(No goats yet. Doing research.) I could have pasture year 'round but will there be any nutritional value left in the forage then? We have lots of warm winter days in Colorado and I hope when I get goats I can put them out in pasture year 'round all around the yard, during the day, and then move them back to shelter permanent fenced area at night. You said hay should be the primary food source... but if they could forage would that be better? We have 5 acres of very steep slopes and I will get maybe 3 small wethers. Are there certain weeds and plants that certain types of goats prefer? I will keep reading.

@DelcifromALifeofHeritage

6 ай бұрын

If they can be on your around forage, that would be great! Just keep a watch that they are content, and that they aren’t grubbing out certain areas more than others, because that can cause more problems with worms just because they’re eating closer to the ground.

You want your goats main food source to be a source of grass/broad-leaf foods or a hay source. Supplementing with grain products is good for pregnant, and lactating does, bucks in rut, elderly goats and growing kids. as long as it's not more than 1.5 pounds a day for the adults. And be sure to make changes to their diet slowly. Feed the grain in the morning (they can more easily get sick if they overload before night fall).

@@geaj4214 it’s really important that they get 20% of their weight in milk a day into their third month. Divide that up into small portions during the day. Put the nipple in their mouth (they will resist) but don’t give up. It may sit there and they do nothing with it but slowly move it in and out of their mouth (without taking it completely out) and gently run your hand under their neck to help give them a swallow reflex. It’s hard for kids to transition from mom to nipple but it can be done. Be patient.
