Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Please be careful on the grain....too much and you can cause founder. If an animal is getting adequate hay, clean water, minerals (loose goat mineral), they should be producing adequate amount of good tasting milk. They only need a maximum of about 4 pounds of grain a day (that is two milkings) Amount of grain depends on how much milk they are putting in the bucket and also how well conditioned they are. In another words, if a goat is fat and not giving me any milk, it would be unlikely that I would give her very much grain.....She does not have the will to milk and would be a likely candidate for sale. I raise dairy goats and have been on USDA milk testing for years so do know my dairy goats and their requirements. I am also a Master Goat Farmer. A good milker should produce at least one gallon - two gallons a day depending on their breed. Again, The Nubian has the best tasting milk but does not produce as much as some of the other breeds (Quality over Quantity) although I do have some who are gallon and half or more milkers.

Thanks, An-Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat's milk is often given to children with allergies to cow's milk thanks! our goats eat all natural food. we will get started and I will post the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
