I just got two ND does and they are 8 months old. I have been giving them 1/2 cup Goat Chow and 2 cups alfalfa pellets in the AM and PM feeding. I think it's too much, they have REALLY gotten fat since I got them. I know some is the winter coat growing in, but I'll take some pictures tonight so ya'll can see what I'm talking about.
They have free choice hay and minerals, they do get some browse, but not so much right now as I have them penned closer to the barn. As they get used to the place, I'll let them roam out more.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
BTW, the person I bought them from did not have any boys, so they are not pregnant. I wanted to wait until they were a year old before I bred them, because I can't tell (being a newbie) if there body condition is considered mature enough. lol
