Well we put it down, mixed with hay from the feeding side of the buck barn so that it isn't all oak leaves. It looks and feels really nice right now. I will lime before we load it up with something else. I have never heard of rice hulls anywhere around here, eo I'll have to look into it. And yeah, Chris, my place is loaded with oak, so they aren't really hungry for it at all. We don't have any pine. I just don't see why we should spend 20 bucks on goat toilet paper. We'll cover with floor sweeping hay, but instead of adding it every day I am going to pile it and lime in between.
Thanks all! I'll let you know how it goes!
