A mixed grass, too much alfalfa will cause a lot of problems, a timothy grass mixture is good for them. Goats can survive on low quality grasses and love to eat bushes, trees and grass.
Growing alfalfa is relatively easy provided you have adequate soil and water available. Alfalfa is a perennial, meaning once the field is seeded you usually don't have to replant year after year. To start a field you will need a seed spreader. Once the field is established, you will need a sprayer to apply herbicide to keep weeds from crowding out or mixing in with your alfalfa. Depending upon the model of sprayer and the type of fertilizer you want to use, you may need another machine to spread fertilizer - alfalfa has a lot of nitrogen in it, so you generally have to supplement the field with nitrogen to maintain adequate yields over the years. Harvesting alfalfa hay takes the most equipment and time. You will need a mower or cutter to chop off all but a few inches of the plant and lay the stems and leaves down in the field. After about a day, you'll need to use a rake to flip the alfalfa over and let it finish drying on both sides. Once dry, you'll need a baler to collect and package the alfalfa into bales. You can also may alfalfa silage, which will require the same mower but a different rake and either a bagging machine or a wagon to carry the wet alfalfa to a silo or packager.

I grow alfalfa
Breeders tend to be very hush hush about cost. If you have two you will need about a cup a day of grain for each. You can feed 1/2c twice a day. They also need alfalfa hay unless you live somewhere they can pasture and forage. Then grass hay is enough. The bag of grain Goat chow is a common brand and cost $20 but with two goats it will be at least a month before you go through it. The bails of alfalfa cost $7-$9 again with two goats you will only need about two bails a month. Also I give free loose minerals the bag cost $15 but this could last 3 or more months. Baking soda in a dish will aid in digestion.
The Malayalam name for the alfalfa plant is "അൽഫാൽഫ" (alfalfa).
