Goat hay FAQ

What is the best hay for goats?

Clean, leafy, mold-free grass or mixed grass hay works for most goats. Lactating does and growing kids benefit from leafier, higher-protein hay like a 2nd cut or alfalfa mix, while wethers and bucks usually do best on grass hay to limit urinary stone risk. Every HayNow load is tested so you know what you are feeding.

Should I feed my goats 1st cut or 2nd cut hay?

1st cut is coarser with more fiber and suits dry does, wethers, and bucks. 2nd cut is finer, softer, and leafier with more protein, so goats waste less of it, and it suits milkers, kids, and picky eaters. Many goat owners keep both.

How much hay does a goat eat?

A goat eats about 2 to 4 percent of its body weight in dry matter a day, roughly 3 to 5 lbs of hay for a full-size goat and less for minis. One 43 lb HayNow bale feeds about 10 full-size goats for a day, so an 18-bale pallet goes a long way.

How should I store hay for goats?

Keep hay dry, off the ground on pallets, and out of direct sun with airflow around the bales. HayNow pallets arrive shrink-wrapped, so you can store them in a barn or shed and open bales as you need them. Goats refuse damp or musty hay, so never feed moldy bales.
