Goats not eating the coastal hay

[OneFineAcre]

Good deal.

Glad they are doing well.

You will find many opinions on feeding.

Figure out what works for you and your situation

I think the feeding thing can be a trial and error situation, just like feeding yourself or your family. You're right you just gotta find what works for you, but getting ideas from others and trying them for those situations that are difficult or are puzzling can be a real plus. Being able to draw on someone else's experience is always a benefit to those who have no idea what to do in some situations. Again, I am thankful for everyone's advice, as you did help me to find what works best for us.

Madcow, I don't have any advice for you..My Lamancha and NDs won't touch coastal...Ive tried a couple of different times with some really good coastal....All mine will eat is Alfalfa..And since at the feed store I use the coastal and alfalfa bales cost the same I will just keep feeding them the alfalfa...Hope it works itself out for you good luck..

Bigmike:

Went and got alfalfa hay and they are eating it like there's no tomorrow! I guess they just don't like coastal, so will buy alfalfa from now on. Thanks so much for helping me feed by goats. Now my next concern is will it affect the taste of Ginger's milk when I go to milk her after she kids in a couple of weeks? What's everyone's take on that?

Mine are on alfalfa and the milk is delicious and wonderful.
