Well I am learning in this business as I go I did get some results but I found better information after I did the job. I went to the Annual General Meeting and conference (CMGA) and learned a lot. A soil test is a good first start. Goats Like Grasses and legumes. Alfalfa trefoil and orchard grass are the three things I will sow this year they already have clover and some other grasses. The trick with orchard grass is to not let it mature it is good young but not mature so I think for this year I will sow that in the paddocks only and see how it fares out here. (Haldimand Clay).
I am still learning and thankfully goats are good eaters as long as they have variety I am noticing. They are all still standing. Variety is the key. Legumes and grasses are essential. Hope this helps.
