QuestionIs it all right to throw a bale of hay into my goat's pen if I need to be gone for a week?Community AnswerNo, goats do not eat in moderation, your goat will very likely eat the entire bale, become very ill, and then have nothing else to eat for six days. You should ask someone near you and trustworthy, like a good neighbor or friend, to care for your goat for the week.
