Concur with Galen on KSU program. Also, Langston University in OK has had an excellent goat research center forever with many publications and extremely knowledgeable/helpful staff.
As wheat is a component in several of the grain mixes for our 4-H goats, wouldn't think it would be a problem. Don't feed bucks or wethers much grain (a little for bribery is very effective though). It can cause urinary tract problems in the boys.
AND.... Sorry, but would be remiss if I didn't mention something we learned this spring. Kale (and everything else in its family to some extent) is poisonous to goats. Living on the coast of WA, we knew rhodedendrons were poisonous, but never knew about kale. We weren't alone.
My father, who grew up on a goat dairy, lives with us and was cleaning out the garden for this spring's tilling. My wife raises Kale for the chickens as they like it and it gives the eggs a really bright yellow yolk. He threw the old Kale into the goat pasture figuring he was giving them a treat. They got goiters(sp) under their jaw and started loosing weight. Some research in our big vet book turned up one sentence on kale poisoning in goats. Local vet had no clue. WA ST U. vet school's "goat expert" never heard of it. Finally called Langston and their goat nutrition expert knew about it, but no treatment. He did get us in contact with U of CAL vet toxicologist who gave some suggestions but no real treatment. Buried two of them including overall champion doe last three years running at the fair. Moral of the story, goats can't eat "everything". We are still trying to build up 5 does who are rail thin from the anemia caused. Sorry for the length of this but seemed important to mention. Stan

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t ... [Read Article]
