We lanced our first boil thingy last night. Stetson is not very happy with me today.

So another question. Now that we have the boys in the barn and the barn fixed up so we can store hay we've been trying to figure out what kind to get. Ive always just got one at a time at the co op but theres so many different ones advertised all around us I'm super confused. What is good hay? 1st, 2nd cut or what should it have in it?

First cut is usually the best, but honestly goats do well on both. And mixed grass is better for goats. Because they're browsers, it will give them more variety in their diet. They like the thicker hay.
Oh and it usually the cheapest too!

Okay thank! Its so confusing lol

It is...But don't fret, you'll get the hang of it. Just keep in mind they need a variety. They prefer weeds n brush over grass.

Hello fellow goat lovers. I've been following this thread for a while and actually read the entire thing. But don't quiz me because I know I don't remember everything. I decided to finally comment now that I got my goats. A couple weeks ago I got 3 Nigerian Dwarf goats; 1 doe in milk and 2 doelings. They are doing well and settling in to their new home. They are so sweet and loving. The big one is Holly, the white one is Sugar, and the brown one is Cookie.
