what is brohm? Mine love alfalfa, but I don't want to feed it to Cali until after she kids. I have been reading around that goats tend to have prolonged pregnancies on it. I don't want to chance anything where her frame is so small.Chirpy said:Yes. Although that's one of the least favorites of my goats - they get it mixed in with other grasses. Mine love Brohm the best... after alfalfa, of course!

I've never heard that about the alfalfa hay prolonging pregnancies either. Alfalfa hay can make them fat if they aren't 'working' if off by either lots of activity, during pregnancy when they are making babies or being milked.
Brohm grass has broader leaves than timothy. You'd have to do a google search to learn more. Here it is very common... we grow it out front of our house with timothy and alfalfa mixed in.
