    small dairy goats

    What goats are you buying? I've found lots of pure registered nigerian kids listed for $300-$400. Retired or extra does slightly less. I'm not looking for something that much cheaper just on the very cheap end of registered stock. Also many of the registered mini dairy breeds that are a...

    Eating moist hay bad?

    Plenty of people purposely wet hay to feed animals sensitive to allergens or dust. So long as the hay is completely eaten before it gets moldy then it's fine. Just don't put too much out so it doesn't sit around wet for too long.
