12. Goats in weather, food, milk and as pets?

Good morning,
As usual these are a combination of our questions. Some questions may be repeated on here in a different way, L tends to do that sometimes until the point is understood.
Love you and hope you have a fabulous day.

1. What do you feed your goats during the winter? Basically the same thang as we do any other season. However, with it being so cold they do eat more hay and we make sure they get lots of protein.

2. What do goats have to eat and what can they not eat to keep them healthy? They have to eat hay or grass, minerals, and other proteins and nutrients which they get in thewir grain.

3. Do certain foods effect milk production and the quality of milk? Yes, when a goat is pregnant and milking they eat a lot more and better stuff. So, they get grain made for milking does and alfalfa hay which has more protein. Our system worked pretty well, sying as we got a gallon a day.

4. How exactly do you keep your goats as pets?  Do they make good pets? We give them lots of love and attention so they're really sweet. We play with them all the time. We sometime take them out and they'll follow us around. So, yes they are great pets, very smart and loving. When they're babies we keep them in a kennel in the closet, bottle feed them, and take them out a bunch to play outside. They think we're their mommas.
