Hello All
Question for ya'll
RE: AC
My goat feed says on the bag label it has AC in it.
Is that good enough for my boy's or do they need more, the mineral mix I use also has AC in it.
That is fed free choice from a dry location.
Are they getting enough or do I need to add more or dose every few months.
Both of the above I do not have % of ration at hand.
All I know is both are "Commercial" feeds/supplements for goats.
FYI: When the goat boy's get in with the horses they will for a little bit hit on the standard Trace Mineral Block for General Livestock use. As they do free range most of the day here and know how to get in with the horses they can get to that anytime they want. The fence there is built with walk through for people that horses /large animals can not get through.
Goats on the other hand "ZIP" through them faster than I can. I figure if one of the horses gets nasty to them they have a good "Escape" route.
I keep the boy's with me and have them trained to stay in the close area to were they see me last. 50 -75 yards.
Because the rest of the farm is not fenced for goats and the across the road people have milk goats that the boy's if given the chance will go visit with a fence between them. At least I know were they will be if they don't stick around.
KID count over there is 7 buckling's NO doeling's and all are pure white.
Any one here on the East Coast that wants some nice Alpine X Saanen kids let me know soon.
Weaning time they are all going to the local stock action. (Meat Goats)
Happy Trails
