Do you supplement the goats with hay in the non-winter months or do they get by free ranging?<br /><br />Do you feed them grain?Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-76319887064244949122010-06-20T17:47:37.776-04:002010-06-20T17:47:37.776-04:00I am sending an invite to your goats to come and f...I am sending an invite to your goats to come and feast on the thistles I just pulled, LOL.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11365391708498438682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-46269715429926905762010-06-20T17:36:56.772-04:002010-06-20T17:36:56.772-04:00I do that too. sometimes I let a small part of the...I do that too. sometimes I let a small part of the garden grow up a little with weed and then pull them all and thow them to my goats and chickens.Lilac Cottage Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727658522690256248noreply@blogger.com
