·My winter rye grass is up and is about 6 to 8 inches deep now. I've started letting the goats on it during the middle of the day to graze for only a few minutes at a time. They really dive into it like hogs. I started increasing the feeding time out there for them, but have found that some are not eating their alfalfa very well at evening feeding time. Not complaining about that, because it helps with feed cost that they are getting full on rye grass.......but, I've just noticed since they are stuffing themselves with rye grass, that they are eating 3 to 4 times the amount of baking soda of what they usually do. Do you think I am getting to close to a potential problem, or should I just make sure that the baking soda is plenty available to them, and just let them have at it on the grass. I only open the small field up to them around mid day.....trying to hit half way between morning and evening feedings at the barn.
