Hi, I live in NE Tennessee. I have what I call a hobby farm. I have 3 lamanchas. 2 wethers
( brothers) That are 7 months old and a doeling ( half sister) that is 6 months old. I have 2 miniature horses that we rescued and half a dozen chickens. Everyone has a separate barn. I love it here and all my babies seem to be happy here. I have not had a farm in 35 years and boy have things changed! Nice to meet y'all.

So I also have questions. I bought my goats from a breeder. The wethers I give about a tablespoon of the medicated grower feed. Dumor. They are 7 months old. They have had their CDT and copper bolus. My question is, how long am I keeping them on the medicated grower feed? They have pasture and unlimited grass hay, free sweetlix minerals, free baking soda, a playground, and all the water they want. Oh and I put acv in the water and black oil sunflower seeds like a Tablespoon each. However, to me, they seem thin. And now winter is knocking at the door and I'm at a loss how to keep them a correct weight. What am I lacking? How long on the very little medicated feed? Vet said no grain, then the breeder said the wethers can have it because it's medicated. I'm confused and I don't want them to get sick or worse and I am trying so hard to do the right thing. But what is the right thing for wethers? Thank you for reading this n helping me understand . I honestly don't understand the ratio thing I see mentioned alot. I don't understand how to figure that out
