Question by marie madness: how much does the average goat need to eat?
i have 4 goats and I’m not sure if I’m over feeding them or even under feeding them.

We fed 1-2 flakes for one goat, depends on breed and if it is a pregnant doe or a doe that is feeding kids. And a half a scoop to a scoop of grain per goat, again depending on breed of goat and whether or not it is pregnant or feeding kids. Do you have dairy, meat, or pygmy goats? What are you feeding them now? These are questions people need to know in order to answer your question.
