Hey its me again

[Sandy christen]

Good evening everyone have question for you if you could please help me out with it how do you really need to feed a goat ..I keep hearing different things and am worried about them not getting enough....so anyone with good advise would be great I'm feeding them a cup in a half in am and in pm is that enough plus they get all the hay they want

You will get a wide range of feeding programs. You will have to work with what feels right and produces good results.

Wethers do not need much feed. If you give feed you must look at Calcium Phosphorus ratios.

Good hay, plenty of forage, loose minerals are generally all you need. Your minerals should contain ammonium chloride if your boys are wethered. Do not put out baking soda as it renders the AC ineffective.

Winter, if not much forage available, you may need feed just to give a more adequate diet with good nutrition.

Thank you so much had one of the boys to vet the other day and he sa8d he looked underweight I didn't understand that so I thought I'd ask and thanks again

If he is looking underweight did the vet run a fecal?
Parasites and or cocci can cause a thin underweight kid/goat.
