Orchard hay and alfalfa. They are happy and healthy, we just picked them up!What is O&A?
A lot of people post a pic from the bag, the parts with ingredients and nutritional data.
Your little guys seem fat & happy?
Yes we are keeping them as bucks. We absolutely love them! I will post a pic when we get home. We drove 2 hours to get them. They are beautiful and ADGA registered. Thank you for reply 🙂Give them a few days to settle in, the upset of moving might upset their bellies/systems.
Swap over a 1/4 at a time, shouldn't be a problem. Watch for poop issues.
Are you keeping them bucks or wethering them?
The grain can be a problem, check into Urinary Calculi: Treatment Analysis, Myths, and Tips
And Welcome!
I have someone coming to pick up a boy weanling from my place today, I hope they are as happy as you seem to be!
We went to feed store and purchased the stuff they were being fed 🙂Did you bring back a few flakes of hay and some of the sweet feed they have already been eating? I would continue to feed the brand of sweet feed they are accustomed to eating, and then start the transition over to a feed of your choice. Usually, any changes being made to a goats diet needs to be done with small amounts of the new feed added to the feed already being eaten, over a period of a few days to avoid sudden changes to their diets. Those sudden diet changes can cause digestive upset with goats. T/O hay would result in less calcium being added to their diets versus the A/O hay.
