[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10684"] Many years ago when we had the goat dairy, we fed alflafa hay and 13-14% grain to all of the milking does. These were does that were milking within the top 10-15% of all of the USDGA DHIA tested animals. If they didn't need higher protein then that I kind of doubt if the average one does. My point is, why change? dun > My goat and calf share a pen. They > are now getting 14% feed along > with free choice alfalfa. Three > times a week I mix Timothy with > the alfalfa.
