I found a source of Afalfa pellets. I can get them for about the same as I have been spending on goat grain.
RIght now, I am mixing a handful in the grain at feeding time, and using it for treats. The babies and the does eat them great. Plato is coming around, but Socrates is doing his usual "ohh, GAG, something new" routine. I am contemplating feeding either ALL alfalfa or a solid mixture of alfalfa/grain.
I wanted to hear from others that use ALfalfa pellets, even if its just part of your feeding program.
How do you use yours? Do you feel a mix or all alfalfa?
WHY do you use them?
What kind of effect has it had on your herd?
Those of you that feed JUST alfalfa pellets,
do you find that (compared to goat pellets) they need More alfalfa pellets, or less or about the same amount?
Has anyone grown out kids for butchering using just alfalfa pellets?
How do bred does do on an all alfalfa pellet diet?
