what are people feeding babies for the first year?
#3
Wean off the bottle at 3 months of age, castrate at 5 to 6 months, Alfalfa for the 1st year with Nutrena Show Edge Goat Feed. It has the 2 to 1 calcium to phosphorus balance, ammonium chloride (AC), and 16% protein. I used calf manna with 25 % protein when my 3 month old got sick. He picked the weight back up nicely.
I do not have acreage and my goats are supplemented with Show Edge Goat Feed most of their lives. I have 3 goats with and age spread of 4 years between each. By design I always have a young one growing and an older packer.
My Mana Pro Goat Minerals which has AC in it are cut in half with kelp meal which has 4% protein in it.
