We do not pamper our goats.  We prefer to let them live like goats.
Our goats have approximately 50-60 acres of pasture and cut over
timber land to roam and browse.   They have a large variety of weeds,
bushes, trees, and grass to eat.  To make it here, they can't just sit
around and wait on a feed sack.  Most of the year there is plenty to
eat, and they can not nearly keep up with it.   During the winter months
we feed peanut hay and  grass hay in big round rolls as their primary
feed, supplemented by cotton seed  We also feed  small amounts
of pelleted feed, especially in the winter months.  We do not plant
winter grazing, but the hay is available free choice at all times.
We worm 2-3 times per year rotationally with Cydectin,  Synanthic,
Safeguard, or others.
We  cut off access to our shelter for one group of goats except
for extremely cold, wet weather.  When we first began keeping goats,
they stayed in a shelter every night.  We had several die.
After cutting off access to the shelter they got healthier.  I think the
dust was causing some respiratory problems.  They do have very thick
woods to take shelter in.
Like anyone else, we sometimes have goats born that are not up to
what they should be.  These are sold at the sale barn.  I will not sell you
a goat for breeding stock that I would not use myself.  
We keep minerals available free choice at all times.
We believe that it is important to have stocking limits on the low side
of recommendations instead of over crowding.  
We do not pamper our goats.  We do however take good care of
our goats.
