Let's Look at our Different Feeding Practices *GOATS*

Anyone in Western Arkansas... I just bought some really great alfalfa from Chickahala Farms. This gentleman brings it in from Kansas. The quality is Top notch. The bales are heavy and very low on stems.

My goats think they are in Goat heaven.

single alpine doe and her pygmy companion
organic calf starter and organic alfalfa

i was trying to source corn-free, soy-free ration, but couldn't get the job done. my friendly feed store guy told me that he brings in this organic calf starter for a large dairy goat operation near him, and that they apparently love it for their goats (neither corn-free nor soy-free). against my better judgement, i'm feeding this to my milker, who now has pink pee. someone please tell me i'm not poisoning my goats!

Toxicity can cause pink or red urine- onion toxicity is one cause. There are other causes as well.
What is you Ca to P ratio?

i don't have the tag anymore, so i can't say for sure. she definitely hasn't had any onion, tho

Onion is only one- there are other things that can cause toxicity.

Are you in a very cold region?

 

[mollypeters]

yes, pretty cold still here in sw wisconsin.
