Question for ppl w/ milking goats

[Acre of Blessings]

TheChickCrew, what type of goats do you have, and are they primarily pets?

What type of feed would they be eating otherwise, specifically? What else do they eat?


I, too, have goats, and have had for a long time. My usual herds have been various Alpines, Nubians, and local "brush" goats, plus mixes, and a few other breeds here and there. This year I added Nigerian Dwarves to the family.

I have Pygmy Goats, and yes they are for pets but I would like to get milk for drinking and soap. They eat brush and hay other than the medi. feed.
