Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Ciao goat farmers! Can you answer a question for me? NT really bashes soy, and warns us not to eat pigs fed soybeans, but since goats have 4 stomachs, it's ok to drink milk from soy-fed goats, right? This is a winter diet (no grass in Colorado winters), fed as part of a grain mix with alfalfa. Owner says they need the protein because it gets so cold here in the winter. Thanks for your help, -Blair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 actually, they need more good quality long fiber n the winter to keep them warm. the protein is for milk production and body condition. www.MajestyFarm.comNorth Garden, Virginia Goat diet: soy in grain?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Soy is not something I'd feed my goats. Tell them to get some good quality hay and make do with a little less milk in the winter months. They're feeding the soy to up milk production, not to keep the goats healthy.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Belinda, I'm glad I know that about your goat's diet--no soy. That's probably why the milk your goats produce tastes AMAZING. Never had better and I can't wait to buy more from you btw. Any more trips into Nashville planned? D. bilherbs@... wrote: Soy is not something I'd feed my goats.
