In addition to raising goats, varied forage is also needed of good quality, knowledge of good feed formulation techniques for dairy goats is needed so that they can provide optimal milk production. Group members wish to get superior forage seeds, as well as assistance with planting them and also appropriate feed formulation techniques for PE goats, so that quality forage will be available throughout the year.
