Why You’ll Love It

• Palatable Diversity: Goats prefer broadleaf, shrub-like forbs over plain grasses. This mix includes forage chicory, birdsfoot trefoil, and legumes to keep them grazing eagerly.

• Balanced Nutrition: Alfalfa and red clover deliver high crude protein; birdsfoot trefoil and forage peas add non-bloating, energy-rich forage; grasses provide essential fiber for rumen health.

• Season-Long Availability: Tall fescue and orchardgrass provide early spring through late fall grazing. Chicory and peas fill in summer gaps with fast regrowth.

• Soil & Pasture Health: Deep roots from chicory and alfalfa improve soil structure. Nitrogen-fixing legumes reduce the need for fertilizers while boosting forage quality.

• Climate-Adapted Durability: Selected species tolerate heat, humidity, and cooler weather—ideal for regions from northeastern Texas to New Jersey.
