Goats and sheep need a good supply of roughage for feeding for adult animals. Alfalfa hay is the most widely used choice for the basic nutrition after weaning. Kid milk replacer can be used to feed these young animals when the mothers milk is no longer available. Kids and bucks need a balanced grain ration and milkers should be fed a standard dairy grain ration. Kids are milk fed until two to three months of age, but should be consuming forages such as pasture grass or hay by two weeks of age and grain within four. All dairy goats should have loose minerals in a container that is free for them to lick whenever they want. Also fresh clean water is important. Kid milk replacer can be used to feed the young ones. Hopefully after they've had colostrum the first day, which is rich with antibodies and immune factors, and is required for the newborn to survive. The pasture area should be a minimum of 25 square feet of space per animal, well-drained and properly fenced. Dairy goats have a strong herd instinct and prefer the companionship of at least one other goat. Kid milk replacer can be fed to goat kids and lambs from the second day of life through weaning. Available in 8# pail.
