20 Best Goats For Meat (2022 Updated)

Ridiculous feeding instructions “one or two at a time throughout the day as a treat” Exactly as printed on package. Translated that would be about 8 pieces per day that are about the same size a goat pellet feed.

I guess a bag at that rate would last a2 goats about 6 months. WHAT GOOD IS THE PROBIOTIC WITH 8 PIECES A DAY. tHE INSTRUCTIONS Are a joke. When you call them they never call back. Manna Pro OVERRATED.

These treats are great to throw around for your goats. My goats love how they taste and love digging the ground for them! I love knowing these treats help support their digestive system. Luckily, these treats are for all life stages.

One of the ingredients I’m really excited about is alfalfa! I know this helps any upset stomach. If my goats could talk they would definitely recommend Manna Pro, especially their Apple flavor treats!.

I tried the MannaPro – Goat Treats + Probiotics for our little fainting goats. They love them. I enjoy giving them treats because they get so excited over the MannaPro – Goat Treats + Probiotics. It helps them stay regular and running around having fun.

I have noticed my goats looking more healthy and happy. I highly recommend MannaPro – Goat Treats + Probiotics.

Love these new minerals from Purina! They now contain chelated copper, which actually gets absorbed correctly so there should be no more need for those dang copper blouses! My picky guys seem to like it so far.

Former Manna pro user; they never seemed to really like that stuff. I only wish Tractor Supply kept it in stock instead of me having to order it.

The only product on the market, that I know of, with adequate ppm copper/selenium for my goats. I know this because since giving it to them their coats have gone from brown and fuzzy to smooth and black.

I recommend it for goats in soil deficient TN.

My goats love it (and they ignored other loose minerals brand that I purchased in store). They look healthier after starting on this supplement: their coats are softer and shinier. Very good value. I wish TSC would carry this product in stores.

We have three purebred Border Collies, a Lab mix and a Belgian Malinois. They are all very active and smart. When I moved from Arkansas to Colorado, we had to leave three of our dogs in Texas with a friend and although she did her best to care for them, they all lost weight.

I had a really hard time trying to get weight back on them, trying all sorts of toppers and really expensive custom foods that they would just turn their noses up to. Finally, in desperation, I went to Petco and bought a bag of every really expensive, great sounding bags of dog food, three of them being Orijen.

Now I am allergic to fish, I had been avoiding fish because even with gloves I get affected. I know this is not the recommended way to switch dog foods but they were not eating. I poured a bowl of each type of food and then waited.

The Regional Red was emptied, the rest were untouched. This went on for a few days, they depleted the Regional Red, ate some of the Orijen Original, the Tundra sat untouched as well as the other brands.

My dogs decided, Regional Red it is, with an occasional Original to mix up the proteins. They are all back to healthy weight, and everyone remarks on how healthy and shiny they are. I love the philosophy of feeding whole prey, that they are getting organs and meat from a variety of species.

I love that they are getting pulses and no grains, and pumpkin! I have done my research, this is by far the best food you can feed your dog. Yes, it is expensive, but my babies are worth it. You can see how shiny Roper is, they all look wonderful.

I am truly grateful and happy that my research project worked out. They all say, THANK YOU! Love, Rosie, Blaze, Shadeaux, Dooley and Roper.

I have been switching the foods I feed our pups every 4 to 6 months or so. I have been doing this since I really don’t trust much of the dog food industry. We have 2 French bulldogs Who are very much food driven.

I must say that I am very pleased with my pups on this food. When I have tried to switch their diets previously to some kibble products they are usually interested in it for a couple of weeks and then after that they have no interest in it.

This has not been the case with tundra and they are actually very happy when I give it to them and it has been about 8 weeks now on this new diet. Their teeth are healthy and their coats are nice and silky on it.

I have had poor experiences with other food where their nails and coats were dry and brittle. I have found the opposite with this food which is a relief. They are a bit gassy on it but they are frenchies and that is a tough problem to fix.

For some reason I think it’s the beans and the peas in certain kibbles that cause them to be gassy. They certainly aren’t bothered by it and their stools are great! I am going to try a slow feeder with them to see if that helps at all.

The main reason that I purchase this food is that I really love the ingredient profile being mostly protein. The protein list goes on and on and on at the top of the list. What really caught my eye was that there were actually organ meats added to this.

That made me extremely happy. This food contains much more protein than other foods on the market hence the price. To me worth spending a little extra for the longevity of my pups of you can spare it.

I also do cook for my pups and actually they were on homemade dog food prior to thus but I needed to take a break as it is alot of work. They have been on this food strictly for 2 months which is a sufficient amount of time to post this review.

I will likely go back to homemade dog food when I have some more time but it’s nice knowing that when I can’t do that they can rely on this option. I also think kibble is great for their oral health so i will always do at least some of that throughout the week.

My 12 year old Siberian Husky, Aspen, started off as an extremely picky eater when we rescued her slightly over 4 years ago. We put Aspen on orijen kibble, switching her from the raw food whole-prey diet (which I would prepare myself) because she would eat nothing else.

She did great on the raw food diet, however that was pretty icky for me to prepare at times. plus it was loads of work for me and literally impossible to keep up on when traveling! Orijen kibble is the next best thing and is very similar to a raw food diet.

Both my dogs love it and I have many great things to say about this dog food. As far as kibble is concerned this is the best of the best no doubts about it! I have both my senior husky as well as my husky puppy on Orijen, and all the claims are true it truly does make their fur soft and shiny !! Aspen started off on Tundra, which she liked.

We bought Red Regional by mistake one day and she ended up loving that one more, so we stuck with it for awhile. Aspen started packing on pounds though. she got up to 79 pounds and vet said OK, time to lose weight! So switched her to Fit & Trim that way we didn’t have to reduce portions too much.

She continues loving the taste of her food. It’s only been a little over a year since the switch, and she’s already back down to her ideal weight range at 56 pounds!!!!! Wow, it worked!! We can up her portions now to a maintenance level, but planning to keep her on it for good.

Aspen’s senior checkup & bloodwork came back recently as one of the healthiest senior dogs the vet has ever seen!!!.

Block good for old Goat. N-40 please match up your ‘Mead quantities available’ with supply number on computer. Mead online had none and though I ordered on computer it told me nothing. Trent store was able to supply: long drive to pick up Goat Block- but my old goat sure appreciates having a Purina Block.

This is a great way to make sure your goats are getting all the minerals and vitamins they need. Just drop it in a clean pan and they will take to it as they need it. Because of the hard block form, there is very little waste or spillage.

Purina goat block is the mineral block I prefer of all the minerals I have used for my goats. It contains the copper and selenium that they need. There are minerals both loose and block that do not contain copper which is essential for goats plus they love it!!.

I have 2 Large Black Hogs and 8 babies. Yes, the official name of the breed is Large Black Hogs! They are very large, can grow up to 750 pounds, they are solid black, furry, smart, and good natured. Obviously I don’t eat meat.

Anyway, I needed a good, healthy food for them, but not to fatten them up. Of course they love it (Hogs, remember?) My adults and piglets are happy and healthy. The pellets are a good size for everyone, not messy, very clean.

They also get leftover veggies, fruit, etc. They also have a big area with fruit and nut trees to forage. This is a really good food at a good price.

I honestly can’t place the brand I normally use, but this was cheaper than what I normally get and my goats love this way more than the other brand and it’s cheaper. This is also not as sticky as the other brand.

It’s sweet enough to make my boys happy, but it doesn’t make a sticky mess. I did compare labels at the store and this seems to be a little healthier than the other brand I had been buying.

Great product. I saw a huge difference in overall health of ewes and newborn and growing lambs the first year I switched to this mineral. Ewes converted nutrients and maintained weight better year round.

No white muscle disease in lambs and overall stronger, healthier lambs.

I tilled up a portion of my pasture and spread this seed, and also spread the suggested fertilizer. It took about a month but I am finally seeing results with the various seeds sprouting and growing.

Probably was slow starting because we have no way to water the pasture so had to wait for some good soaking rains. Looking forward to when it is tall enough to let the goats in to it.

Very satisfied with how quick received order. Spread the seeds 12/03/2020. Fescue and ryegrass sprouted about 8 days later. Other seeds I haven’t seen sprout. However to be fair have not checked due to these holidays.

The fescue and ryegrass is about 5” tall and have good coverage.

I did not receive the item I ordered. You shipped spring and summer mix which I didn’t realize until after I had planted it. Goats can’t eat crops that don’t grow out of season, nor can they eat a refund.

In the future I won’t risk being sent items that I didn’t order. I’ll find another vendor with literate order fillers or I’ll research which forage goats need and order through local vendors. That way I can lay my hands on the product BEFORE I WASTE TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT.

My advice to potential consumers of your products is to shop elsewhere. Your likely to get whatever Hancock decides to ship. “YOU’LL GET WHAT WE SEND !!!” should be their motto.

I ordered 5 bags. Every single one of them was wet and moldy on the bottom. My previous order this happened as well and I was told I couldn’t return because it was opened and I could have be the cause even though I picked up in their store.

I ordered this time and I’m not about to open 5 bags of feed and then have them all open but each was. Moldy. Had to throw them all away. Don’t bother with elkton.

Normally I only feed grain to milking does in my goat herd. This year I have some new girls who came here thin so I needed a palatable feed to help get them back into condition without giving them scours, as we had to fight that at the beginning.

They love this product and are doing well now, and I love that it’s less expensive than some other feeds, and seems to be regularly available.

I panic if Tractor Supply is out of thos feed. My goats all are very healthy and a little chunky. It’s great for the males, they require special attention to prevent urinary complications. The medicated protection is really great.

I always try to keep them clear of any potential health problems, I switched feed a couple times until I ised Purina Medicated. It took a few break outs pf cocci before I figured out that using medicated feed was worth it.

Now I always choose to feed medicated and this feed keeps them fat and sassy.

Switched to this after losing our wethers to urinary calculii. This feed has the ammonium chloride to help keep the calcium/phosphorus ratio in balance. I’ve also noticed that our does didn’t suffer as much weight loss after birthing.

One even gave us triplets! I plan to continue to feed small amounts of this daily as a supplement to their daily forage. I’m very pleased with the way our goats look.

Vitamin B-12 supplement that is given orally. I give 2 cc to a newborn kid or lamb and a weight appropriate dose to older animals when indicated. I have injectable B vitamin also, but this (smells like) cherry flavored liquid seems to be well liked and is swallowed easily.

Our sweet Oberhasli finds this supplement palatable and seems to have more energy now that she’s been taking it for a few weeks. The daily cost is a little pricey but worth it in order to help our girl stay healthy in her senior years.

I use this for chickens. There is a chicken one but I accidently got this. They are identical. Great to prevent wryneck when I use with e and selinium.

We do a lot of goat rescuing, and we have a lot of momma’s on the farm with their cute little kidds. This electrolyte was a great way to restore energy to the moms and the kidds. We’ve tried other elecrolytes and for anyone who is experienced with goats, you’ll know that goats are PICKY.

We’ve had some electrolytes that the goats wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole. These electrolytes were the opposite. The goats really seemed to love these, consuming them in no time, and the results were so obvious.

The moms and kids had so much more energy, talking and playing to their hearts content. You could tell just by watching them before and after the supplement that they felt renewed. Definitely recommend!!.

I have been searching for a great Electrolyte for my goats. They seems sluggish at best, and just worn down all day everyday. These are young goats! I knew I needed to add a great Electrolyte to their daily routine.

I’m glad I have come across the Goat Electrolyte by Manna Pro! Manna Pro has the best products for animals! After just 1 day, I could see a huge difference in my goats! Now they have a pep in their step, as they should, and they are more playful than ever! I can’t think Manna Pro enough! I would highly recommend if you are looking for a great Electrolyte for your goats!.

Using the Zupreem bright blends daily bird food is an easy way to make sure my mom’s birds have all the nutrient they need to thrive. The mix is a low fat mixture of healthy and balanced nutrition that includes real fruit and wholesome grains.

The best part is there are NO added sunflower seeds! This alone showed me how great this product is because so many bird seed formulas include sunflower seeds to bulk up the product weight and compromise on other more beneficial ingredients.

Seems durable and accurate, my only gripe is the printed text is a little faint in areas (though still legible), I’m not sure how it will stand up to repeated use. Though at the price, it’s not a deal breaker and I would buy again.

This tape is a must have for any goat keeper. Its good quality and very useful for determining dosages per weight ect. Do keep it out of your goats mouths though! They love to chew the ends off. naughty they are!.

Handy weight measuring tape. Easy to use and read. The metal end tabs come off very easily and pose a risk to animals that want to mouth everything. So be careful or remove them completely.

My favorite rig for the Baby GOAT is the Ned Rig with a variety off retrieves off the bottom. It can also be used for a chatter bait trailer. My favorite color is Green Pumpkin for nice football smallies.

Outstanding lure that takes a beating from large fish and remains durable. Discount Tackle has the best prices and selection on Zman products.

This is a very versatile bait that can be fished a variety of ways. I have caught fish bouncing it along the bottom rigged on a Ned head, reeled steadily like a swim bait, and buzzed along the surface using a no weight.

This one bait covers a wide range of fishing methods.

I have been pitching grass beds this spring with a Billy Goat “The Deal” using a 1/2 oz tungsten flipping weight and catching a bunch of great bass here in Texas. ElaZtech is an amazing material. Fish one bait all day (12 hrs), catch 20-25 bass and never have to change lures! Can’t ask for a better deal than that.

I really like the ZuPreem Bright Blends Daily Bird Food. The food comes in an easy to open 1. 75 pound bag, and I like how you can reseal the bag to keep the food fresh. The blend is for large birds such as Parrots, African Greys, Macaws, Cockatoos, Conures, and more.

The blend contains real fruits, veggies, and wholesome grains. I was amazed at the different dried fruits in the bag such as bananas, papaya, pineapple, cranberries and coconut. Some of the veggies include sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, carrots, beets, and more.

Included on the back of the package is some good information on how much to feed your bird, depending on which type of bird you have. My bird just loves it! He gets all excited when he see’s me reach for the bag everyday.

This was our first year showing goats. We’re still learning. We struggled to find a happy medium of feeding pellets to gain appropriate weight with no side effects. We started adding mineral a couple of times a week to the pellets and we really think it helped.

They didn’t mind eating and it helped us get them to the perfect market weight. We will be kidding starting in October and this will be a staple in our feeding routine to help give our goats the best diet possible.

This dogfood saved two of my dogs AND me! One had terrible skin allergies. I spent thousands on medications and food changes for five years before finding Zignature. Another of my dogs has inflammatory bowel disease.

He was on multiple daily meds and still vomited frequently until I put him on Zignature. LITERALLY, both dogs were much improved within two weeks of starting on this food (both hard and soft). Before trying Zignature, I researched dog food ingredients on line and went through my local pet store reading the fine print.

Zignature was the ONLY brand I found that did not contain guar gum. I don’t know if that is the main thing that has made the difference. All I know is that my allergic dog no longer itches or takes ANY medication other than a Cytopoint injection once every few months.

My IBD pup never throws up now, and he is not on any meds. Zignature is a godsend! I wouldn’t use any other brand. I AM NOT A PAID REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS COMPANY. I am just a grateful pet owner/customer.

First, let me say my baby LOVES this Pork! However, the kibble is not for small breeds. I’m my opinion, I would definitely say it’s NOT small breed friendly. I had to take a mallet to it to break it up for my elderly rescue Chorkie.

She has Poultry & Poultry By-Products allergies which includes not only Chicken, but Turkey, eggs, and any broths that include any of above. I hope Zignature will make a small breed kibble for those of us who face issues with our babies like this.

I’m currently checking into novel proteins like Rabbit & Kangaroo to add to her diet. Freeze Dried & Dehydrated. She loves Pork and it agrees with her, but thus far finding small kibble is impossible.

If you have a small breed, get this and get ready with your mallet! Your dog will probably love it, mine did, but it requires more than putting in a bowl for the smaller breeds.

My 8. 5 y. o. German Shepard has an autoimmune disease, so his diet is crucial. Problems with persistent, reoccuring ear and skin infections/allergies have made his life (and mine) challenging. The fillers used in commercial dog foods rank from barely standard to criminal.

The cost associated with higher end dry foods are astronomical and unaffordable to most of us. Zenergy dog foods are nutritious and affordable. Note that “foods” is plural. Max has enjoyed some “flavor” variety, Mom is satisfied with the ingredients, and Zenergy offers safe, quality food.

While the brand is a bit pricier, it has earned our approval.

My goats love this feed. I’ve had them on it for a little over three years and I’ve never had any issues with it. Everything they need is in here and I’ve never had to put them on a different feed or add anything to their diet 10/10 would highly recommend to anybody who is starting to raise goats and needs to know what feed to use.

I have 3 older pygmys-2 doe & 1 wether. I’m feeding this to make sure they get enough copper-etc. Just pets/not milkers. I’m also hoping to put a little weight on them. How much do I give each goat per day? Once a day? Twice a day? Pygmy goats :).

I’ve been using your product for almost one (1) year. Recently I’ve become unhappy that the feed contains less molasses. It appears dry and my dairy milking goats are not eating it like they did a few months ago.

I’m now questioning if the mineral content is correct as dairy goats must have sufficient cooper in their diet along with other needed minerals. A dairy goat friend in Middle Grove, New York is not happy and feels the same as I do.

Not sure if this is safe being Goats generally carry toxoplasmosis gondii? My cat vomited all of her food and later had violent bursts of diarrhea. I’m disinfecting everything and washing bedding. She was so sick – don’t get this for your pets!.

My dogs both liked the Primal Goats milk. Our usually brand was out of stock so we tried this and may stick with it. My border collie has bad allergies and this helps keep her tummy feeling normal.

Krisers is my go to for Primal Frozen Goat Milk! It’s frozen so I can grab extra and throw it in the freezer and use when convenient! My dog and 2 cats love the goat milk and it’s great for animals for the probiotics! Keep it coming Kriser’s!.

I always add an additional source of hydration into my cat’s wet food every time he eats and Primal’s goat milk is a perfect alternative. I like to switch between broth, goat milk, and water so he gets different flavours every meal.

My cat likes the original goat milk the best. He wasn’t as interested in this particular cranberry blast flavour but he still licked it. I wish the alternative flavours were in stock in smaller quantities.

32 oz. is hard for one cat (at least my cat) to go through before the milk expires. I’m sure if you have a larger animal like a dog the 32 oz. bottles would be great. The smaller 16 oz. size that the original milk flavour comes in is perfect for us and I’ll be ordering it next time we need goat milk.

Hank was such a picky eater until I found primal products. He loves this green goddess goats milk. When the bowl hits the floor Hanks face goes into it and doesn’t come up until every drop of food is gone.

I will Review the other three flavors with Hank. His tastes buds my thoughts.

My dog is obsessed with this goats milk. I like to put it on top of her food and as a treat. This brand is always consistent also and I’ve never had an issue after thawing. I buy it in all flavors

This review is for the Montchevre Plain Goat Cheese. I enjoy this product and frequently add to salads or just on crackers as a snack. The flavor has just the right amount of tang without being overwhelming.

I appreciate the convenient 4oz package; this way I don’t but too much and have it go bad before I can eat it all. The price point is attractive as well since similar products can cost much more. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have 2 Nigerian dwarf girls and they weigh somewhere around 50 lbs, so the dosage is around 1. 5 cups per head. I used 2 feed bowls and only gave 0. 5 cups per goat at a time because for them, the full dose would have been more than what they eat at one sitting.

Over the course of a few hours, I was able to give both girls the proper dose and they ate it with no problems- the pellets look very similar to the feed they normally eat. I’d suggest administering the dosages a little at a time and keeping your goats separated so you can make sure they all get the right dosage and that your product doesn’t just sit out in the open, as goats can sometimes refuse to eat food that’s been ‘left out’.

I’m knocking off 1 star because the bag these pellets come in shreds down the middle if you try to open it by pulling it apart like a cereal bag. Obviously this is going to make a mess and prevent using the bag as storage.

Zip sealed bags have been around for decades and for the cost of this product, the few extra cents to have a resealable bag would make this product great.

IšverstiShow in original languageI thought goats would eat anything, since they chew on paper bags and even plastic bag when they get blow in. But when I gave them this pellets, they nibbled a bit and stop eating it.

I tried adding molasses on the pellets but they still won’t eat the pellets.

IšverstiShow in original languageI like using this with all my goats. They get dewormer monthly and probios bimonthly. This much much easier than drenching. My girls are sweet but man do they hate that gun.

Great tasting goat cheese !! There is a lot of cheese in this package so I put it into the freezer just to get it slightly firm. I then cut into slices and put them into a foodsaver bag. This enables me to get out just the amount that I need.

This prevents the delicious cheese from spoiling before I need it. I am the only one in my family that eats it. It is DELICIOUS, especially in scrambled eggs.

It’s alright but it’s definitely not as “tangy” as normal goat cheese… it doesn’t crumble like typical goat cheese either so I guess if you’re looking for something that’s spreadable this works but reminds me more of like a mozzarella rather than goat….

I know it says made with goat milk but really way too mild tasting for my liking.

We bought two of these logs thinking it’d save us money since we buy goat cheese all the time. However, after a couple days, the opened package spoiled. Thinking I did something to it, I didn’t worry too much.

The second log, which I was very careful with, spoiled as well. We are goat cheese fiends, so it’s not that I don’t know how to eat/store my goat cheese.
