Think like a goat!!!

different varieties of forages in a day.

FEEDING GOATS = the goal of

feeding goats is not to fatten them, but
rather to provide enough nutrients for
maintenance & growth. Adequate
space for exercise plus abundant
quality grasses/legumes are important.
• Goats like to have a set of routine. That is
why you should try to feed them at the
same time of day.
• Goats are intelligent and creative.
• Try to feed them enough roughage that
they will have something left over to
munch on between meals, so their rumens
stay active and healthy.
Develop pasture area 8
months before the animals
arrive. Observe integration
in your area.
