While I posted that last tid bit below, I must confess I believe you get more calcium from dark green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach but even better is nettle leaf.
A herbal recipe from Dr. Christopher, a master herbalist, is:
Horsetail, Nettle leaf, Oatstraw, and Lobelia
Mix them in equal amounts and put into capsules. Take 2 caps, 3x daily, 1 hr. before or after meals.

Goat Milk May Help Ward Off Osteoporosis

Uploaded Thanksgiving pictures as I'll be selling my whole herd. I want to butcher Joy. I am selling the other 6.
I feed my herd well.
Their grass/hay is from an unsprayed pasture that has several mixes of seed prior to the 1970's , has some weeds but no toxic tansy nor false tansy.
Their feed consist Organic whole oats, rolled oats, flax meal, Thorvin kelp, Redmond's Animal salt with Selenium and Redmond's mineral conditioner. I mix their feed a week at a time due to the fact that I soak the Organic whole oats overnight in water which has 1/4 cup of ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar). I allow to air dry 2 days then mix all together.
I also, feed them some vegetable and/or fruit almost daily. Carrot peelings year round as I juice lots of carrots. Apples in the fall and apple core & peelings year round. As well as others like banana peelings and oranges ect... Pumpkins with their seed currently. Pumpkin seeds are a natural dewormer.
Speak of deworming. I mix herbs together that are natural deworming... I separate half the mix and add the two herbs that are the strongest and no no's during pregnancy...call this latter mix #2. I use mix #2 every 6 weeks, 1x a day for 3 days every 6 weeks except once in the spring and again in the fall I do 2x a day for 3 days. Mix #1 I give once a week, just 1x.
I use herbs, essential oils and garlic in oil as remedies.
