September's Tip of the Month

This is the month where you need to deworm your goats. There are several ways you can do this.

1. The pellet form this form is what we use on our disabled kid, it is safer then the shot to younger kids. The pellets go by weight. This method is less expensive, but not always the most effective, because of spills and other reasons. 
2. The shot this form is more effective especially for mature goats. It also goes by weight (.5 CC per 10 pounds). This is the more expensive choice, but from personal experience you will get what you want from it.

Someone once asked, me how do you know when to worm them? So i decided to answer it here.

One way to tell is their fur will be messy and they will be itching constantly.
You are also supposed to deworm a goat so often to prevent serious parasites.
TIP: on most dewormers you need to do 2 worming, usually 30 days after the first. This will change depending on the wormer you choose.
