So my two youngest kids right now are about five months old, and kinda small. My current goat food is good, but its really only good for everyone except them. My wether that i'm going to use as a jackpot goat has gained only 10 pounds in the last month and extremely under muscled. he went from 54 to 64, when the lowestdaily rate of gain recommended is .5 lbs per pund of feed give daily. His sister is a little bit bigger and better looking, but shes undermuscled too.
This is the current feed I'm giving them:

Does anyone know of any good feed companies? I'm currently looking at Nutrena, Purina, and SunGlo.... Or is there a supplement out
there that is good on goats? My uncle told me add Show Time lamb grower/finisher, but I want to know if there is anything else I can try. I've always fed
this feed and have gotten good results with all my other goats, except Olivia and Oliver. And they have been wormed with SafeGuard goat dewormer and the horses
have too. The cattle are currently off the ranch, but they were dewormed along with the goats and horses. So I'm pretty sure worms are out of the
question.
