This is what you pay for a bale? I thought it was less expensive where you are.
Our bales are 1000-1200 lbs.
Alfalfa runs- 160-180
Alfalfa mix-150-160
Orchard- 100
My Ali is now getting help! updated pictures

WHAT IS THE EASIEST FOR HER TO EAT, I ASSUME SHE WILL NEED A SPECIAL DIET?

ok, Ali update...
She is looking the same. Although I have her separated, she is sharing a fenceline with her buddies, but now gets endless hay, which she seems to not want as much now that i added goat chow. i have been adding a little by little each day, and soak it in water. she slurps it wight up. Turns out her back teeth weren't as much of an issue as her front, THEY ARE GONE? (i do know there are none on the top, duh
)where did they go? no one knows. she has one snaggle tooth left in the front there, but the rest are gone, and i know she had them not too long ago, ive been searching in my photos, because i remember a funny one where her teeth were up on her lip....

Goats do loose their "baby" teeth, but not all at once...

the one remaining tooth is solid. the rest have full gum coverage, apart from one, looks like a stub left.

omg, i wonder if my feeders were to blame? maybe she was chomping down on the metal part thinking she was grabbing hay? i made some slow feeders with 2x4 welded wire fencing and i though they were sticking their noses thru by maybe she was chewing on wire too?
