Feeders and FeedingSelf feeders 6 inches off the groundHanging feeders at
shoulder heightTroughs should be
cleaned regularly to
prevent disease
![Page 8: Kipp Brown Extension Livestock Coordinator Department of Animal and Dairy Science Mississippi State University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ce15503460f949aaf8e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Use a 16-18% pelleted ration!Young goats may not know to eat feed.Start with a leafy alfalfa and top dress with your chosen feed.
Reduce the alfalfa and increase the feed.
If hand feeding, goats should be fed at least twice per day.
![Page 9: Kipp Brown Extension Livestock Coordinator Department of Animal and Dairy Science Mississippi State University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ce15503460f949aaf8e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
There is no magic ration!
There is no magic formula!
There is no magic dust!
There is only good
Management!

Water is the most important
nutrient in any feeding
program!
“If you wouldn’t drink it, then
clean it!”
![Page 11: Kipp Brown Extension Livestock Coordinator Department of Animal and Dairy Science Mississippi State University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ce15503460f949aaf8e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Water makes up over 70% of muscle fiber! Water directly effects the amount of feed an animal will consume! Check water daily Clean buckets regularly Keep water in the shade

Growth PotentialAbility to grow-Performance!Must grow to be competitive-Bloom!
A moderate framed goat with length and extension throughout, correct in
structure, is heavily muscled, and combines these traits in a stylish
package is more competitive!
![Page 25: Kipp Brown Extension Livestock Coordinator Department of Animal and Dairy Science Mississippi State University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ce15503460f949aaf8e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Let the goat become familiar with his new surroundings…then…
Build a relationship by halter breaking and training the goat to lead.
Once accomplished,
move to the finer
points-Showmanship!
