Sweet feed brand

I would like to know what brand of sweet feed you use other than Purina. I want to switch my goats to a different brand and not use Purina. (For does in milk)
Thank you

We use producer's pride sweet feed but only as a treat since sweet feed isn't good for goats

You'll need to look up all the feeds that Purina makes if you want to stay away from Purina.

☝ I agree
I have been using a local Minnesota made goat feed called big gain. Was recommended to me by another goat lady! Maybe check around and see if there's something local!
Where are you located? It really depends on what is around you. We have Boer goats, not dairy, but there are a lot of good options out there.
If you are near Ohio, Kalmbach feed makes a good 16% all natural Sweet feed. We have used this in late gestation for our does especially since they tend to have multiple kids and helps keep them eating - had one that had been sick and sweet feed is all she would eat until I was able to wean her back to the pelleted feed we use.

They also make a feed called Goat Granola that I've been curious to check out for the future.

I have actually looked into ordering the Kalmbach feed. I can't find much good around here other than the payback brand.
