What do the goats eat at The Cumbrian Goat Experience?
Goats are very affectionate and intelligent animals, and contrary to belief they don’t eat anything and everything, they are quite fussy and want the best. During the run up to mating in the autumn, and from the time of housing, all our does are fed extra rations to ensure they have enough food to support their growing kids. This consists of home mixed ‘cereal’, containing oats, sugar beet, maize and some plant protein pellets. In addition, they are fed good quality hay from our own ground. All food is sourced locally from mills and contains no GM ingredients. This ensures the maximum effort for peace of mind for us that the food we give our animals is safe and of good quality.
