I got him as a companion for my horse after I got rid of her other horsey friends. I was wondering if you all could help me figure out just how much purina goat chow I should be feeding him and how much grassy alfalfa to give him per day. Or if there is a better less expensive feed to give him. If I had to guess what he weighs I would say about 60 lbs or so at 7 months old. Also what books should I get to learn more about the breed and how to take care of him. Thank you for any help you can give me. Paula Hiebert Hello I am new to owning a goat, I have a nubian whether.

I run 7 Nubian/LaMancha crosses with a Nubian buck, one Boer/LaMancha doe, and her LaBoer/Nubian whether son. (10 total until spring kidding) FYI, my goat-mentor says If they’re lactating/milking, add a a half a pound a day of feed per kid in addition to their regular ration for a full sized goat.
