...into the goat world again :greengrin:
I've been looking at and researching different breeds, trying to pick a favorite. I came across the mini silky fainters and long story short I'm going to go pick up 2 young does Monday. :laugh: We went to go look at them last week and talked to the lady for hours. They are all health tested and she had a super nice set up. These girls are going to be pets. They are really friendly and calm. They are 9 months old, we actually share a b-day. I hadn't planned on getting a goat just yet, but it all kind of oddly fell into place. I spent this week shopping for goat supplies and getting it all set up. I already have the hay and alfalfa, but I picked up some BOSS, sweetlix loose minerals, kelp, salt and a few other things. I haven't decided on feeding a grain yet. I don't think they'll need it with all the grass, weeds, leaves, trees, hay and alfalfa. If I do go with a grain does anyone have any experience with ADM feeds? I love there horse line, but I'm not familiar with their goat products. I've read the goat supplies list and I think I have or can get most of everything Ill need. I keep a lot of meds and supplies on hand for the horses(accident prone creatures
) and what I don't have I can pick up at tractor supply or order from work(vet). Ill be coming here for lots of advice and to share pics of the girls.
