I have a sneaking suspicion that you will be very happy with the Orchard grass, not so much with the Timothy unless it is mixed with enough other grasses that its low protein content is hidden.Unfortunately, the guy we got the clover hay from sold the entire field several months in advance so didn't have any more available for us, so we are going to try a Orchard/alfalfa mix this winter on all of our goats, and see how we like it. I think that for breeding stock goats that won't be shown Orchard and/or Timothy should be great for any age or sex. For show I would recommend alfalfa.
