Another question please...
Alfalfa pellets or cubes I can break up? Or is that bad for wethers? I'm just really wanting to feed them properly..Maybe I'm trying too hard? I can get different types of pellets too.
I keep putting the baking soda on the feed once a day but they don't eat it. They pick up the feed around the baking soda. Tricky kids..

Awesome invention. My Husband is making me a tote or a 5 gallon bucket hay feeder for my kids soon. Then it's screwed to stumps so it won't tip over. You make goat nose sized holes to pull the hay out for the kids.
No more peeing on the feed...

I keep mine in a separate feeder. They eat it as necessary. Sometimes they eat more than other times. Usually they consume more baking soda on pasture here, and more minerals when on hay.

I hope used alfalfa pellets or cubes except for once. I just feed mine hay and pasture. A handful of ration is okay daily too. Goats have a sensitive digestive system, so they don't need a lot, nor is it good for them.

Lucy thinks the goats want to play ball so constantly tries to give the kids her tennis ball....

Okay then scrap that idea..
Less is more I'm guessing...

Keep it simple, your goats will complain no matter what you do.

Are you gonna get them some stuff to climb on? We built that goat tower, and have a rock pile for ours. It's probably why I don't need to trim hooves. I read goats like a tether ball, but I'm afraid someone will get tangled in. I also always wanted to give them a tire swing to butt around but haven't done so yet.

Definitely getting things to play on. Our weather though isn't nice enough to get that done yet. We are making a teeter totter soon too. Can get tires from a friend also.
Looking for a excersise tramp too..
