🐐 Think goats can live on grain alone? Not quite!

Goats are natural browsers, not grazers. They thrive when they have access to a variety of grasses, weeds, shrubs, and safe tree leaves to nibble throughout the day.

While grain can be a useful supplement, it should typically make up no more than about 10% of a goat's diet unless additional nutrition is needed.

A diverse pasture doesn't just keep goats busy—it helps support their health and natural feeding behaviors. 📸: YURII MASLAK
