February 2018 What a Mess!

We bought some hay that was not good quality for our goats.  The round bales were mostly straw and sticks.  The goats dug through it to find pieces to nibble, but most was discarded and inedible.  After going through 4 bales, this is what was left behind!  It took me days to clean it up. 

I also learned the sad and hard way that poor quality hay is very hard on goats.  This winter my goats have been plagued with more parasites and ills than the last 2 years combined!  It is one thing after another.  Upon thinking about it....I bet it all stems from the poor diet of this crummy hay!   I feel awful that I didn't just discard the hay when it was first delivered.

Never Again!!
