"Hi Tammy,
Thanks for writing back. They are wethers. I'm not exactly sure of what grass is in the hay, as I buy it from a farmer who has beef cattle and sells hay as well. It is all grass though and not much in the way of weeds. I did have some…"

"Hi Ann!
Oh yes! You have yourself some chunky monkeys :)
Are these wethers or does? It can be hard to get weight off of of wethers because they don't really have much in the way of stress to impact them. Same thing with dry does kept as pets. I had…"

Hello All, It has been a while since I have posted with a question and am grateful for all the past help. When I was early in my goating years Tammy had posted that during the times of the year that good hay was hard to get, she fed the hay pellets…

" Thanks, Tammy. I just read the transcript and see them talking about thistles in particular. There are some new rosettes growing in the field and I think I'll harvest some today and offer it and see what happens.
Thanks so much and I'll let you…"

"Hi there Ann!
So good to hear from you :)
So this could be hit or miss for you. If it is a completely new and foreign forage to them, they may avoid it completely or they may have great interest. Goats tend to stick to what they know if there is…"

"Also, she said that timothy was a "balanced" feed source, as in having calcium and phosphorus, as opposed to orchardgrass that was high in phosphorus alone. Cany you speak to that? I'm trying to do my own research as well."
"Hi Debra,
Having just listened to this podcast and coincidently, talking today to a woman who trims goat's hooves for a living, I have a couple of questions about feeding wethers. They are now a year and a half old. I was feeding timothy pellets…"
