If you use the goat for the milk, it is advised that they get some alfalfa but if it is just a pet goat, you can feed it pasture grass or grass hay or just let it graze in your yard. They do not have to have alfalfa.
Cow's graze on grass to feed as they can easily digest grass.
Besides how they are housed, where they live and what they are fed, there are almost no significant differences between them. The primary difference is how they are fed. Feedlot cattle are fed an 85% grain or concentrate diet (the rest is forage), and pasture-fed cattle are obviously set to graze grass on pasture.What's interesting in this respect is that feedlot cattle have been pastured before they entered the feedlot. These cattle have been on pasture pretty well since the day they were born, and remained so for a year and a half (~18 months) before being sent to the feedlot to be "finished" for beef. Even the weaned calves that enter the feedlot are put on pasture in the summer for 5 or 6 months, and in the winter or during the times when they cannot be on pasture they are fed a forage-rich diet. Pastured cattle will also be fed the same way if they do not have pasture to graze on, because not all areas can raise cattle on pasture all year round.The differences that may be seen is when cattle are mere days away from being sent to slaughter. Feedlot cattle are younger and somewhat fatter than pasture-finished cattle, being finished at around 20 to 24 months of age. Pasture-finished cattle are not as fat, but still well conditioned, but older. By the time they are ready for slaughter, they are around 28 to 30 months of age. Breeds and breeding matters little between feedlot and pastured cattle, feed efficiency is not breed specific, but individual-specific within and between breeds.
There are really too many unknown variables to be able to fully answer this question. Is she a dairy cow or beef cow? What feedstuffs and/or pasture does she have available? Is she able to graze on pasture or are you raising her via drylot or confined to a barn? Location?
A barn is the structure in what domestic horses live in. They live in a square room inside the barn called a stall. When they are turned outside to graze and run, they are turned out into a pasture.
No. Pasture the horse on untreated grass. No treatment of any kind, except cutting the grass with a lawn mower.
Grass lands or pasture areas.
Forage content will decrease until the rancher puts the cattle into another pasture to graze. Cattle will graze the pasture until a) they can't any more or b) the rancher sees that they've taken off enough and moves them to a fresh pasture.
The cows are grazing on the grass to get nutrition.
A few weeks or until the grass is around 10 to 12 inches high.
No. When you drive by a cow pasture notice all the tufts of grass standing around the pasture. This is where old cow patties lie because they avoid grazing the grass that grows around these patties. But that occurs only if they are set to continuously graze a pasture.
