Baking soda?

[arabianequine]

What is the real name for baking soda? I leave it free choice for all goats, both sex and all ages?

Where should I buy this in a big amount and for the best price possible?

I googled and got the name of it (sodium bicarbonate).

Try Sams Club if you have one, the sell bigger bags of it.

They won't eat that much. The small grocery store box will do.

But consider not leaving it out, rather, keep a box in your barn for ready access. BS is salty and some will eat it for that reason and won't get enough minerals. The minerals should be their only source of salt so that they eat plenty of them.

Wow! I get to be the smart one this time!

When do I put some out? Once a week? Should I just sprinkle some on their minerals?

I never put it out. If they need it I will either make BS balls or a drench of baking soda / molasses and water and give it to them.
