Special K feed is a recipe developed by me and ESP feeds especially for show goats. I was not finding what I wanted in other feed brands. I was constantly having to mix other additives in order to get the desired results. Why does a hog feed company make goat feed for me? Because they understood that I wanted consistency in feed stuffs and that I didn’t want to spend a fortune advertising the feed therefore causing the price to be over $20 a bag. This is also why the feed comes in a plain white bag with an orange label. Straight forward, simple, cheap yet very effective.<\/p>\n
It is an alfalfa\/corn\/soybean meal based feed. It does have ammonia chloride in it and a proper Calcium\/phopshorous balance to help prevent kidney stones. With all feeds, I still recommend keeping apple cider vinegar in their water for stone prevention. It is over 16% protein and 4% fat. With the higher fat content, there has to be an exercise program in place, unless you are creep feeding and wanting to bloom goats.<\/p>\n
Anybody that knows me has heard me say “It’s not what you feed, but how you feed it as long as you use a quality feed.” I still believe this. But lets look at the result for one year.<\/p>\n

That’s an impressive list for one year. It ain’t bragging if you can back it up. ESP is making the feed how I want it and the feed is doing its part for the goats.<\/p>\n
The feed is designed to be fed while using an exercise program. When fed properly, goats will handle with a fresher handle. We don’t use track dogs on our goats, but they are ran on a regular routine. A wide variety of judges have consistently stated that these goats handle fresher and with more shape. We haven’t been beat because of a lack of muscle. We do add Oxy-Gen vindicator to the Special K. I have used very few other additives this past year.<\/p>\n
If you are interested in feeding Special K, contact me or go to the ESP link on oklahomshowgoats.com and call Troy Baumgardner. I keep feed here at the barn. Tyke gets a ton at a time. Kids from Ellis county buy a bag or two at time from Tyke.<\/p>\n
Obviosuly, it is easier to get feeding help from me if you are feeding Special K.<\/p>\n
