I am raising meat goats. I have less than 2 months to get them fat. Can someone help me?

Question

The meat goats are Boer goats. They are a 4-H project for the Hillsdale County Fair.

Answer 1

I raise goats and we have our own feed mixture we get from the elevator. 600 lbs. cracked corn, 200 pounds fanned oats and 20 pounds of molasses all mixed together. We also give them a salt and mineral block and hay. We feed them twice a day. My goats are huge. If they by chance are babies I would recommend bottle feeding them goat milk, it is really rich and fattens them up real fast.

Answer 2

Heres a thought. Boer Goat feed!!! Just kidding. Ask your local co-op or people at the 4-H office. They have all this info you know? Leave it up to us and you'll get answers like: get all the shoes and tin cans at the thrift store and let the little goat have a feast...Baaaaaad

Answer 3

Feed the goats often with Finishing Food, which you can find at Tractor Supply or a feed store which sells goat food.

Answer 4

Different people have different recipes for goat feed mixes. No matter what feed mix you use, it won't work if your goats have worms. For any fattening regimen, ensure that the animals are first de-wormed.

Answer 5

You don t favor to take advantage of a angus cow. sure you do choose a bull in case you prefer to have a calf that you'll make into beef. sufficiently old to beef a calf can be a a million year and 1/2. And it feels like your thanks to some distance over your head elevating cattle is alot of work you fairly a lot have performed it your entire existence

Answer 6

Corn is the best thing to put meat on your produce animals. It's very fattening. For an extra treat, mix some corn syrup into it. They love it.

Answer 7

Feed them peanuts? Lots of peanuts?

Answer 8

milkshakes and goat meat burgers

Answer 9

I would think you could mix a lot of lard (crisco) into their food.
