Ok......

Goat grain the same as goat food from TSC?

I have------

Alfalfa pellets
Rolled Oats
Goat feed from Tractor Supply
All Stock Sweet Feed

I mixed all of the above together........

1 part alfalfa pellets
1 part oats
1 part sweet feed

mixed this up real well with twice as much Goat feed. Am I on the right track? If I feed this mixture to her on the milk stand and offer her all the hay she wants, will that work? Is it ok to mix it all together and do it this way? I am sorry for asking so many questions. I want to do this correctly.

:lol: There is no one correct way.....but it sounds good, you are on the right track with the basic principles. Hay 24/7, and grain on the milking stand....what grain you use is up to you. Sounds like a good mixture. I feed sprouted whole grains, but I'm a rebel. :p
