Small goats, any chance they will catch up in growth?

[Dave-Trinity-Farms]

You will do much better to find a quality alfalfa. Grains of any kind are a sugar fat. So the weight you gain from them is not a good weight. A fresh clean alfalfa will put a much better weight on them with much higher levels of protein. Adding to muscle growth. Which is what they need the most. Alfalfa is also much less unbalanced then grains. Although better then grains, alfalfa pellets are not fresh and the alfalfa used is substandard and or mostly stem. Alfalfa at 16% protein is poor quality.

Its lway to early in the season with first cuttings usually hitting the ground in June in most places. But Id check craigslist in your area upto comfortable traveling distance to see if you cant located a dairy quality, non rained on, tarped or stored alfalfa from last year. We found a decent grower locally but up until a couple of years ago, our alfalfa was coming from over 400 miles away and we have a LOT of alfalfa grown in this area. But we put quality before convenience.
