anyone used pellets or compressed hay bales?

I used alfalfa pellets in pretty much the same situation a few years ago, and my goats did very well on them. If they aren’t used to lush browse or protein rich hay, their poop might get a little clumpy or loose, but mine went straight from only hay to only pellets and suffered no ill effects. They might be super piggy the first day or two thinking it’s like grain and a rare treat, but then they realize it’s just greens in a different shape and stop gorging themselves
