Chaffhaye is premium Non-GMO Alfalfa sold in bags that captures the key characteristics of fresh pasture, while also offering a guaranteed level of nutrition. Chaffhaye undergoes a natural fermentation that transforms the raw alfalfa into a super digestible forage, enriching it with yeast, enzymes and beneficial microflora that aid digestion as well as absorption of its nutrients by the animal, with very little waste. Chaffhaye Alfalfa is soft, easy to chew, and free of dust and mold. Available in 50-pound bags, and 5-pound bags for smaller herds.  Store indoors or out.

Associated "SHOWMAKER" Pygmy Goat Ration with Rumensin is the grain that we feed to young, growing kids and nursing mothers.  Medicated for coccidiosis prevention. While kids are nursing, we mix this 50/50 with the Calf Manna (see next item) and feed kids and mom twice daily.  After weaning, the kids continue to receive about 1/2 cup twice daily until 10-12 months of age.

                           **We do not feed grain to adult animals except                                                      nursing mothers and breeding bucks**

Calf Manna by MannaPro is the protein supplement we feed to nursing kids and nursing does.  Mix it 50/50 with the Pygmy Goat Ration and feed twice daily.  It helps put weight on kids and keeps mom's condition up, especially when nursing multiples. We continue to feed this to the kids for a month after weaning to help kids transition off milk.

Bar Ale Western Goat Mineral is a great loose mineral which provides Selenium as well as all other necessary minerals for the goats.  It is always avilable for them, in a small wall-mounted feeder.  They will eat it throughout the day.  The salt content is especially important for bucks and wethers, to encourage them to drink alot of water for their urinary tract health.  Make sure your mineral supplement contains Selenium.

This  worming paste by Durvet is what we use every three months on every goat.  It is apple-flavored and comes in a multi-dose syringe.  Weigh the goat, multiply the weight times 3 and give the paste based on that number.  Safe for kids and pregnant does.

Vetericyn is a great product for cleaning, disinfecting and healing wounds.  It can also be sprayed in and around the eyes.  We have used it for staph infections, abrasions, eye inflammations and when disbudding or castration scabs fall off.  Clear, not sticky, doesn't sting.  Very fine mist.

Probiotic paste is used any time the goats have stress-  or feed-induced stomach troubles.  It brings naturally occuring bacteria back to the rumen.  We use it on goats of all ages as it is very safe and if you give extra it will not hurt them.  Helps with diarhhea/clumpy droppings and lack of appetite, and is used whenever goats are on antibiotics, or during periods of stress like showing, kidding, weaning, etc.

 This is an economically-priced thermometer that we use when taking temperatures.  Fahrenheit scale.  Large glass ring-top for a tie so you don't drop it.  5" thermometer in plastic case with clip.  Contains mercury.  Whenever you suspect a sick goat, the first thing to do is take the temp.  The vet will want to know the reading if you need to call them.
