on 11/22/2005 A good way to feed goats is to give them alfalfa hay. Break of about one flake of it every day, depending on how many goats you have. If you have two goats, one flake would be good. For occasional treats, you could give them alfalfa pellets (rabbit food).

on 11/22/2005 When our kids have bonded with their mothers after birth, we take them inside the house where it is warm and keep them in a play pen. This keeps them warm. We take them out every couple of hours to let them drink milk.
