What do you feed your wethers?

[helmstead]

When I had my wether I only fed him a good grass hay, browsing and no grain except as an occasional treat. Alfalfa hay often times has too much calcium in it - thus why I didn't take chances feeding.

High calcium feed like alfalfa is fine for wethers. It's high phosphorus (grain) you should worry about. Urinary stones in goats are not calcium based like they are in humans.

Yep, this stuff about alfalfa being BAD for wethers is not true at all.

Alfalfa hay and pellets are the PERFECT feed for wethers and bucks. A goat pellet with added AC is fine if you're finishing them for market or needing to add some extra condition (ie when a buck is in rut).
