I though I would share my recent experience here as it may interest others.
Wytsend very kindly sent me a (large) sample of the goat mineral she has helped to formulate for us to try with the girsl, and frankly I am amazed at the results already!
We are a few days into feeding it and are giving 2 teaspoons per day per goat.
Already Doris' coat is even thicker than before, Millie shines like a mirror and Enid.....
well it turns out my creamish coloured grubby white goat is patterned!! She has had black markings appear! If only it would stop raining I would get some photos to show you!
They eat the stuff no problem what so ever and I am thrilled with the results. Although they weren't skinny to start off with, there shape has altered slightly though it is difficult to describe how. I guess it is good condition that has been put on rather than fat.
I can reduce the amount of feed and maintain their condition.
I would recommend this stuff to anyone, especially if they live in a copper deficient area like us
Thanks Wytsend, you are a star
