Ok, I need to talk to you before breeding time lol. I’m waiting til the beginning of the new year.
I’m cutting off the alfalfa pellets and will keep hay full as usual. Should I keep pushing with the coastal? It’s very new to them, would they have rumen issues?
Yeah, mana pro is the bag of minerals I get.
Thank you so much. This is very helpful to me.

Stay with the costal hay, they shouldn't have any rumen issues....but it won't hurt to put some pro biotics in their water 
....stay dry

Mine love chaffhaye, they'd choose it over grain 
and they dont bloat like they do on normal dry hay.

Ooh can you feed that for dairies? Just like alfalfa free choice and what not?

If you stick with a regular feeding routine and feeds you won't have many issues, what works in Ohio may not work or be availble in Florida...use what you know works for your goats.

I feed it to Nigerian dwarfs, the lady I bought my buck from feeds it and recommended it. But I dont milk so cant tell you how it would affect your goats or milk. I'm not sure where all its available at but when I build up a little money again I'm going to make the almost hour trip for a couple bags again. It has to be stored in a cool dry place. I ruined 1/2 a bag in the heat wave.

Very true. For now I’m sticking to coastal/enforcing it lol. No pellets since yesterday. The yelling started at 6 AM. But hopefully they stick to the hay and that’s it.
