I don't have goats but my sheep even learned to crawl to get to dog food (someone once told me sheep can't crawl) but they sure did!
I just fed once a day after they were grown and I let them be protective of their food. They were pyrs. New ASD already is protective. I have devised a little hole for her to go through but I'm sure the sheep will figure it out. She is already letting her buddy the bottle baby in her pen but no one else. Bottle baby isn't going after dog food yet.

What a title!

It got my attention. I was getting ready to tell you no bad idea. Not good for them. I leave my dogs food out and the goats never touch it. Now the chickens when they are out will devour it. :lol: And the 2 dogs do not like it. They sit back and glare at them. But do not touch them.

My goats will eat dog food if they get a chance but my Pyr makes sure nobody gets close. The chickens have figured out that if they go close he will bark at them (with a mouth full of food of course) and spit it everywhere. Then they dart in and grab what they can. He does not bother them unless they get directly in his bowl which I had to put inside a plastic container so the chickens cant lean in and eat. I had to start feeding him after the chickens went to bed.
