What Do Goats Eat?

~ Hay or Pasture
We feed our herd alfalfa Hay and orchard Grass.  We also have a 1 acre grazing pen where the herd can forage for grasses and shrubs.  You can feed your goats quality alfalfa, timothy, bermuda or orchard grass.  Hay also can be found in pressed pellets. 


~ Grain
Grain is optional and not necessary for goat survival, however it can be supplemented to keep a healthy herd. During lactation, grains provide additional protein, vitamins and minerals.  It will boost milk production for lactating animals and give them additional energy.  We feed our milkers Modesto Milling Organic Dairy Pellets in the milk stand.  This can be found at our local feed stores.  You can check the Modesto Milling website for retailers near you.

~ Minerals
Minerals are crucial to your goats health.  Because much of the soil is depleted of minerals it is critical to provide the essential minerals to your herd. This should be given freely and available everyday.  We use Sweetlix Magnum Milker loose minerals for our does on an alfalfa diet and Sweetlix Meat Makers loose minerals for our bucks on a orchard grass diet.  This can be found at our local feed stores or purchased online.  We also add ZinPro 40 to the loose minerals.

~ Veggie Scraps
Goats love fruit and vegetable scraps from the garden and kitchen.  We feed our herd, banana peels, orange peels, juicing pulp, beet tops, carrot tops, ugly lettuce and romaine stalks, kale, chard and most garden clippings.  They also love carrots and tangerines which we give as treats. Watch our goofy girls eat tangerines like they're candy.

~ Other Supplements
Baking Soda - for bloating and indigestion.  Should be given freely and be available daily.
Probiotics - We give probiotics after kidding or stress.  Can be used to treat diarrhea or poor rumen function.
Zinpro Treats- Our goats love these little nutritious treats.
Thorvin Kelp -
a complex natural food supplement containing over 60 vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in a readily available form, including iodine. Absorbable iodine, deficient in many soils, grasses and feeds, is essential for healthy thyroid function.
