Hello all! In preparing a mix for my doe while she’s milking, I’m curious about the benefits of sunflower seeds and how i’d make sure that she gets the 2:1 calcium to phosphorus, since from my understanding boss has a lot of phosphorus.

Along with this, I’m wondering what to feed my wether. I don’t want to give him the sunflower seeds if I can’t make sure it’s balanced, but he definitely deserves a treat. I’ve also not seen if wethers need a morning and afternoon meal other than hay, any thoughts? Thanks!

Note- I apologize for all my silly questions that have probably already been answered in previous threads.

Black sunflower seeds are high In fiber and protein, they can also help milk production and increase in butter fat, but it's different for each doe so probably look into it more and get Advice from someone with more experience(this is just what I've heard from other people)

A small amount of black oil sunflower seeds is ok. They don't need more than a small handful. You wouldn't give more than once a day.

Do BOSS provide selenium? I think I saw that somewhere. If it does, I'll try them. I am having real problems getting selenium blocks since November, no one seems to know why.

They do I believe! It's one of the reasons I'd like to try them out as well
