We are new to goats and we now have 4 2 nig dwarf weathers 1 alpine cross doe and 1 oberhasi cross Doe we are wondering how much hay we should be putting up for the winter? also we live in Maine.
 
I don't have an exact number to give you, but I'll tell you how I calculate it. I see how much they eat in a week, figure out about how many weeks I'll be feeding hay and multiply. Then I add about an extra bale or two per week just in case.....(we always have just in cases around here) I've done pretty well doing it this way.
