I've had my two ND does for 4 1/2 months now, and when I got them I boughr my first bag of goat sweet feed in a 50 lb bag. I keep the grain inside the kaibdrybroom in an "airtight" insect-resistaby container. It's Purina Noble Goat feed & it has molasses in it. They go through about 5 lbs a month during this past summer, with all the browse & alfalfa hay they eat.
I opened the "airtight" container today, and there was brown mold right in the middle of the top grain. So.... first, I need a different container. Second, I didn't k ow ot would take a year to go through that bag, but I sure know now. Third, I may not have needed grain this past summer, but my second-year doe will be bred this autumn. I'll need grain for her this winter. Any suggestions on where to get a smaller bag of grain to begin with? The feed stores here only sell 50 lbs, but we have a TSC near us.
