Diet - Minerals and supplements
To have a complete diet goats need at least a mineral block and sometimes other things as well.
It can be hard to find proper mineral blocks; sometimes, you do need to order them online. With Chewy, you get a 5% discount when you set up autoship. My goats prefer a block over loose minerals so this is one I buy.
