Feeder question

[20kidsonhill]

Are you feeding all 4 of them right next to each other? Why not put more feeders on the other side of the barn or another wall. And spread the feeding stations out more. That way the two bulllies have to work a little harder at knocking the other two out of the way.

Or put a feeding station outside the barn, so two are eating inside and two are outside. They will have to run more to chase the other onse away.

I found that since I separated my boys from the girls the 2 boys eat together just fine. The girls (5 of them) is a different story all together. I have to feed one separate, but since it's just one it's not too bad. I want to make a ramp and put dividers so everyone has a ramp with a feeder, then I could lock them in and let them eat while I milk, brush, or trim. It would work since I would only have 2 in milk at a time, which is my ideal situation, but we know how goats are and I will probably have 5 in milk during the coldest part of the winter or hottest part of the summer. It's just the way it is, right?
