All goats are ruminants. This means they chew their cud, and have a four-chambered stomach. Unlike sheep and cows, who are grazers, goats are browsers. They eat roughage, which is in the form of grass, hay, twigs, bark, leaves, corn stalks, and other plant material. Roughage is otherwise known as dietary fiber, and is required for proper digestion. Pygmy goats, like other goats, are usually fed quality hay and grain with other plant material as a supplement. Also, mineralized salt is available for the goats to consume as they wish.

I feed all of my goats a local grass hay and refill their feeders twice a day or as necessary.  In the morning some goats get a little bit of a grain mix specially formulated for goats in this region.  All the goats have lots of water, salt, and minerals available outside.
