Loose minerals are better because blocks lose essential nutrients when they are heat shrunk. Plus, mineral blocks are hard on goats' teeth. Unlike cows, who lick blocks, goats will bite off small chunks with their lower front teeth. Copper is toxic to sheep, so it won't exist in these products. Use a loose cattle mineral for your goats.
Goats are ruminants, so hay is essential to their diets.
Goats don't generally do well on Klein Grass hay, but they thrive on peanut hay and alfalfa. Alfalfa is high in protein and high in calcium, so control the usage of it . A 70-pound bale of alfalfa will feed 50 adult goats. Many producers have experienced sickness and death from goats having eaten moldy hay. Hay must be baled dry and stored in a dry location.
