Feeding market goats

[SDBoerGoats]

That is pretty much what we are doing, just a different brand, We don't have Kent feed available in our area. We have also been adding a handful of beet pulp to our show goats feed, a trick we used when feeding out our show heifer.

Chris, how much are you feeding of the show feed and how many times a day?

I feed 3 times a day and about 5% of there body a day, so a 80lb goat would get 4lbs of feed a day.


Chris

are you expecting your goat to eat all 1.33 lbs in a certain amount of time, let's say 15 minutes, or do you just put it out and expect it to be ate before the next feeding?

We just put out a certain amount and expect it ate before the next feeding, I don't find the goats it like the lambs do. The lambs will eat their ration with in 10 minutes or so, Although we did have a lamb one time that we had to separate, because she was a grazer and wouldn't eat her meal in 10 to 15 minutes.

We tie up our lambs and put their front feet on blocks, but we haven't had any success with individually feeding our goats and tying them up.

Also, could you share your exercise schedule with us and techniques. Thank you

I just looked up the other 2 products, the Essential Wether, and Essential Wether Top. I'll have to see if anyone carries anything like that around here too. Both sound like great products.
