We like to keep our animals on a holistic and natural diet, but we do give them the occasional treat that you wouldn't see a wild goat eating. For the main part of their diet they forage through native weeds that pop up on there own and use no water. This is great since we are in a drought and don't want to waste any water. While the weeds are great they do not give the goats as much protein as they need so we give them alfalfa hay. Since our goats are darker in color they can easily get copper deficiency so we have provided them with a mineral block formulated for goats. On special occasions we will also give our goats kelp powder which gives them a boost of fiber, selenium and other fantastic vitamins. When it's cold or our goats need a little boost we will also give them molasses water which they love! In the near future we will be swapping hay for fodder so our goats will be grass fed and on a fresh diet.
