URGENT!!! Really skinny dairy goat needs to gain weight

[Goat Whisperer]

Glad you are still getting the fecal run.

If you are worried about the beet pulp expanding just soak it prior to feeding. Add a little molasses if you need to.

Yes soak the beet pulp before feeding....uptake is much easier on the goat.
We have been putting weight on our goats with black oil sunflower seeds, Timothy hay pellets, and good old vegetable oil to coat everything.

UPDATE: My goat is doing great. Thanks you guys for telling me to up he feed intake, I think it really helped. I would guess she has gained 7+ pounds and slowly more.

LOL I just opened BYH- I am TRYING to work on my website. LOL I figured it's like 2 years- I should update.

You did it again! You are making a website? What will it be called? I would love to see it when you are done. I am also in the prosses of making a small website, to sell my soap etc. and to tell the ridiculous stories of my animals. It is called The Milking Stand and I hope to be finished and get it published by next week.
