How to keep the boys out of the grain?

[Dorothy1324]

Well this is just something that keeps crossing my mind but i am wondering how you all keep the boys out of the grain?
our newest members on the farm are 3 nigerian Dwarf goats a Mom and her 2 bucklings who will be 8 weeks old may 1st and i will weather them then. So my question is how am i suppose to give mom the grain a Doe needs while keeping the weathers out of it as they are not suppose to have it. Wondering what you all do.
I do know thy can have a little grain just not a lot.

Separate them out of mom's pen. That would be the easiest solution

Or bring mom in to another area when it's feeding time.

well this may also sound silly but at this point they are free range as we live a quarter of a mile of the road and we want them to clean up brush we do have a fence and gate so if we have to fence them for any reason we can. so maybe i could just keep the Boys in the fenced in area untill mom finishes her grain.

My does only get grain when they are up on the milkstand, so no one else has access to it.
