The Goat Feeding Guide

When we first started, it was difficult to find out what to feed our goats and how much to feed them. After years of experience, talking to every vet in the area, and lots of reading, we’ve found this is what works for us. Contrary to popular belief, goats are sensitive animals when it comes to their diet, so it's important to ensure you're doing everything possible to give them the best one possible.

I have 16 goats now. I started out trying to control my goats, keeping boys seprate from girls weening babies ect.... but then i gave up and decided to let nature do the job.... i find that my moms allow the babies to feed to around 4-5 months. I also leave my herd together. They are controling the breeding. My girls are averaging a new kid about every 10-11 months...

I love the bucks! Such personalities!

[@LoriM222]

I saw you on Facebook and had to go find your YT channel and I'm glad I did!! Oh and I thought your bottle feeder for the babies is genius!!

[@GoatDaddys]

So glad you decided to watch 😊

[@LoriM222]

@@GoatDaddys Me too! Looking forward to future videos 💜

Thanks for putting all this together. Good to hear it all said in one go. BTW, Willie and Merle are doing fine. So are Moonshine and Mooncloud. That's Merles offspring. As far as content I'd love to see more about the day to day chores and the infrastructure. Maybe something about how to design/setup a good barn.

[@GoatDaddys]

So glad to hear the crew is doing well! We’ve already been working on some day to day chore style videos, be on the look out for that soon!

I goat so much info THANK you.

[@highfive9835]

My friend, I think your goats may be girdling your pine trees. They're doing the same to mine. I heard you can wrap the tree in chicken wire to keep them from pulling the bark off. Thanks for the video, it was so helpful!

[@ThatAnimalChannel]

I would like a video on rated feed for buck! I will be picking up baking soda!! Thank you!! Also gonna pitch the goat specific mineral block i got and getting loose minerals!

[@lynnmarie122]

Learn so much from you...use of humor is awesome...however I didn't hear one thing you said when you were talking about the males because of all the lunatic shenanigans of, I believe his name was Walnut. Hahaha

[@hannahgallagher2289]

I always Always! Keep baking soda, it has saved my goats twice!

[@missy6664]

What do you think about sweet feed when being milked?

[@Mysfit_Oasis]

I was excited to find your video.... but then you spent a good amount of time talking using commercial feed.... anytime you yave to rely on a pellet your at the mercy of the comercial market which isnt smart for self sufficient... Im looking for information on what to plant in a graze field... and a list of all the GOOD food plants i can plant for them to graze on

[@davee5384]

Grain is not very good for goats. And it sure isnt good for wethers. Leading cause of UC. If you want to give a better protein source, move to a measured amount of alfalfa instead. Not only is it a better form of protein, but its nature, generally speaking, and has a higher calcium level to help balance out all other feeds that are typically higher in phosphorous.

[@popper58]

Most informative video watched yet although the chop edit makes me dizzy.

[@1herford604]

Have you ever given your goats Calf Manna? What are your thoughts on that?

[@runningkranch3781]

I just ordered the Toltrazuril as you suggested however I only got 2.5% and after listening to your video agaric heard you say 5%…does that mean it won’t be effective?

[@GoatDaddys]

Just double the dosage and it will be just as effective!

[@Brunskillfarms]

I have 3 baby girls that we just weened and they ended up with diarrhea, besides electrolytes should I put them back on milk?

[@kerrysimmons7746]

Can you post the links to the Toltazurol I think you called it from horse prerace?

[@GoatDaddys]

We put the link in the description of our latest video: Coccidia Prevention For Goats. Thanks for watching😁

[@OmarGonzalez-qy8bk]

What kind of breed is walnut? Damascus?

[@interdimensional-eh9yk]

Is half orchard and half alfalfa okay for a goat thats 2 years old a female for milk

[@TheCammy131]

I'm sorry you recommend feeding grain? I could have sworn I watched two videos from like 4 years ago that you said you don't need to feed grain and you really shouldn't feed grain?!? Please clarify

[@adamz8314]

😂❤ 🇴🇲, I have alot of them here in Oman
