We are feeding alfalfa silage, grass hay and a commercial sheep concentrate (mainly cereals and a mineral mixture). We don't exactly now how balanced this is since our silage and hay hasn't been analyzed. However both goats and sheep are doing very well - growing bigger every week..... baby-watch has started - three weeks to go!
Welcome on our “Living on a farm in Slovakia – Blog”. In May 2008 we have bought a smallholding in Slovakia without ever having seen it and we have moved to our farm in September 2008. Since then we have started to get acquainted with our neighbours, learn the Slovak language, renovate the house, regain our land from nature and we have actually started to farm on our land in spring 2009. On this blog you can follow our progress and setbacks. Have fun reading it!

sheep and goat webinars
We are again following a series of webinars from the University of Maryland - this Winter they are on Sheep and Goat Nutrition and Feeding. They are free and everybody can join... you only have to get up at 1.30 am once a week (at least when you live in Slovakia).
We are feeding alfalfa silage, grass hay and a commercial sheep concentrate (mainly cereals and a mineral mixture). We don't exactly now how balanced this is since our silage and hay hasn't been analyzed. However both goats and sheep are doing very well - growing bigger every week..... baby-watch has started - three weeks to go!
Our sheep eating alfalfa silage - they love it!
