Loving the herd life
OMG - our 9 week old ND girls are little eating machines. I'm worried that I will be raising obese goats! I've already overfed DH, and the dog is now on a diet.
Are goats smart enough to STOP eating when they are full, or do they just eat like the rest of us at a buffet?
They have hay available 24/7. The have access to outside grazing area with grass, trees, bushes etc. for 12+ hours a day.
I have been giving them a handfull - literaly of pellets in the morning. But if they see me with BOSS, they act like they have been starved to death!
I usually give the chickens a handfull of BOSS in the afternoon - like a treat. The goats come running and stick their whole head in the cup.
So, do I resist giving them everything they want?
