I order it from Hoeggers. I don't use very much of it, otherwise it would be pretty expensive. I don't think I can get it locally around here. Jan
We got ours from Caprine. We don't use a lot of it, though. I prefer Clovite instead (my local feed store ordered it for me). -Tina
Thanks for the replies I was looking at Hoeggers or Countryside for the Kelp but the shipping is about the same as the product. I have recently started giving Clovite about a week ago on the suggestion of my horse expert boyfriend. Have you used it very long and would you say you can see good results? I have a couple of does with course horse like coats, but the rest are really nice and soft and shinny. I give Coop forage loose minerals, Sweetlix meat maker in the tub(recently added) and feed everyone a mixture of 1 part Noble Goat mix/1 part BOSS/3 parts alfalfa pellets (2x daily) and then mixed hay 2x a day. I have just started showing this summer and was looking to improve coats and shine. Thanks so much, Lisa

Here's a little clip from the thorvin kelp page, above: "Kelps are among the most useful species of seaweeds. The most valuable kelps grow in cold, mineral-rich waters and grow more slowly. These kelps collect minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and other beneficial bioactive properties." They are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Jan
I buy my kelp from the Asian Market in Atlanta. I get the 9 pack which is wrapped into 9 seprate sealed packs. (stays fresh) Tastes ok too. (why should the goats get all the treats) They will run you over for it. I give it about once a month or so. I think I paid $3.00 for it. They have big bags of it, I just like the idea of it being kept "fresh" and not going "stale". Plus you don't smell it when it's nice and sealed up. :greengrin: Gina
