Here is my own personal mix recipes from the days when I showed my dairy goats here in Michigan. It was also used by fellow goat showpersons in Ohio.
Things You'll Need
- A CLEAN local grain mill
- This recipe

Instructions
First and foremost, go and actually visit your local grain mill. Ask them to see where the grain is stored and mixed. If it is not clean (rotting grains, rodents, odd odors, etc), move on to another mill. Many will deliver for a small fee so don't worry so much on proximity.
