Funny stories about your goats @schultz, I love hearing your stories which are often balanced and truthful and from a perspective I do not have - I live near downtown in a high riseI don't know how it is in the States, but in Canada smaller farms produce milk and then sell it to companies who pool the milk from many farms together to make a commercial milk product. Saying it's 110% crap would really depend on the farm. A lot of these farmers will let their cows on pasture even. There is a farm down the street from me that does this.
I wonder if some pig feeds have Menadione in it. I have an "electrolyte" (that's what it's called for some reason) supplement for my pig which is basically a multi-vitamin that you put in the water. It has vitamin K3 in it, which gets converted to K2 in the body.
My goats go absolutely insane for corn. If a goat finds a bucket of corn they will eat so much that they can die from it. Goats like legumes as well like alfalfa and clover, not just grass. Goats seem to especially like leaves (they ate all of my bushes, cedar trees, as many maple leaves as they could reach). If I throw my christmas tree in their pen they strip that thing entirely, including the bark. Goats are very picky about eating grass/hay/water contaminated with feces. They are known as hay wasters because once the hay falls on the ground they tend not to eat it. Goats are browsers, like deer, and they will walk around the pasture looking for specific things. Cows on the other hand are grazers and will basically mow the lawn, eating almost everything. Goats do get into trouble though, and I could see them stealing a shirt lol. They like to nibble on things. They can be a real pain in the **** sometimes. After they ate all the low maple leaves in my yard they decided to jump on my car, which was parked under the tree, to reach more leaves. My car has seen better days now... I do have them fenced in a paddock but they find ways to escape and the one girl can just jump the 4 foot fence without even trying.
