RE: Crazy Weather!!! What a difference a day makes.
I can relate! With February I start getting antsy for Spring! LOVE the winter coats on your goats!!! BTW, do you feed your goats copper? Ive heard it does them well but I haven't tried it yet. We feed ours kelp and salt but I don't know if they get enough copper from that..
We feed out goat copper. Every spring they get a bolus of copper along with their worming medicine. Goats need copper it helps with fertility. Also prevents their hair getting really wirey and the fish tail look to their tails. There are other reasons they need it as well. Such as helping with the development central nervous system in younger goats. Sorry long story short yes goats need copper and offering it freely is loose minerals is a great option. We boils because we had sheep with our goats and they cannot have copper.
Yeah that makes sense. Ours get some copper with their salt and kelp but i think I'm going to start giving them more copper.
I feed them my cattle mineral, it does have some copper in it.
