Feeding Goats Beet Pulp?

[Goatgirl47]

We give our milk cows Beet Pulp (soaked, of course) every time they are milked, and I was wondering, is it 'safe' to feed milk goats Beet Pulp? Does the milk taste any different?
I'm sure it's fine, but just in case...

Thank you!

Beet pulp is fine for goats

It shouldn't affect the flavor of the milk. Getting them to eat it is the issue, our dairy girls won't touch anything new let alone anything that is wet!

Clover LOVES Beet Pulp. It sounds so funny when she eats it.

Our goats are just little snots

Many people do.
Our girls won't eat it. Not unusual for our brats.

Mine eat it dry and also in pellet form, they seem to like it quite a bit.

@Goat Whisperer ...your goats are just weird. They remind me of my nephew that wanted his lemonade strained (as an adult at a restaurant). Tell those girls to eat what they are given.

I thought you weren't supposed to feed it dry because it expands up to three times it's size when wet?

Well oh well, I have never heard that and I have been feeding it dry for 7 years... Who knew? Lately though I have been buying it in pellet form, I guess that expands too. No more beet pulp for them; I'll be darned if I am going to cook for my goats.

I just did a quick Google, I'm not the only one that feeds it dry; I feel a little better. Mine get maybe a cup mixed with their grain when they are on the milk stand.
