I heard you can feed black sunflower seeds to goats? Has anybody did this?

And can I mix it with purina noble goat feed? Thanks

You sure can, mix it or top dress the feed. I just use a small handful per goat.

This might be a silly question (I got a million of them! LOL) Can you grow your own black oil sunflowers for the seeds? I have sunflowers growing but don't know what kind they are.

I don't see why not, plant some of the black oil seeds that you feed next year and see if they come up. My dad plants bird seed all the time. He even planted my parakeet seed when I had parakeets and grew all kinds of weird stuff.

I had one of my BOSS fall in a crack and start growing it was in my barn and didn't get more then a few inches before it got stepped on...
I'm gonna try and grow some in the garden next year

Yes, feeding them to goats in moderation is OK.


And the seeds do grow into plants, if they are planted.

Dumb question.... what does it mean to "top dress the feed" ?

Just putting a sprinkling on top of their feed...
