How do you find rice hulls. I used hay last year as I was sold some sub par hay and had 150 bales of it, it is a mess to clean up but luckily my tractor had easy access to the area so we just pulled it out with the front end loader and threw it over the fence into compost? heaps. :) Of course, that involved me paying someone to do it that was more savvy with the tractor. I guess anything is messy when you have to keep adding to the pile over time versus picking it up as you go along? Would you get picking it up as you go along? If you put a real expensive roll of premium hay in there, they will climb on it and make it fall down and then pee on it and you didn't have to do anything, lol. I know I still see the small lump that is left of mine:)
Anyone know how to make a goatproof round bale feeder or do I have to do the peel off method and put n the small feeders, sure was easier to put it under the protected cover for them to eat off of instead of using it for a good back scratcher:)
Can you tell me how to access those goat records you found on my bucks dam, I asked before but I guess you forgot, thank you much.

I am deciding what to use for bedding for the goaties this winter as my straw experiment was a fiasco to say the least. I want to use either rice hulls or shavings. I garden in heavy clay and rice hulls do great things for heavy clay plus they are easier to handle when cleaning out the pens. but I am concerned about pesticide residues on the rice hulls. Any thoughts or suggestions out there? Aliza “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
