[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1634184, member: 24016"] Actually, in regards to feed/minerals, goats NEED copper-lots of it, in amounts that kill sheep. They can be effectively dry-lotted, but do need access to stemmy, vitamin B heavy forage. High quality alfalfa works well. As far as feed goes, a beginner is wise to start with a complete pellet designed for goats. If they have access to forage, really only lactating does and kids need grain/feed. And yes, that buck can breed when he is as young as 2 months old! We breed our boer does when they are 12-14 months old. For the most part, you want a doe to be at least 1 year before breeding and kid out at 2 years old. I wouldn't leave your pair together at this point! [/QUOTE]
