After over 20 years of raising goats we are done. Our last wether was picked up today. A few older does are being kept as pasture pets Thanks to all of you who have bought goats from us over the years!!!

Beware of rain just after a dry period.
Barber Pole worm larvae (H. Contortus) cannot wait to hatch from the eggs laid by your goats and sheep this summer. They are rapidly doing this now. If your does are hungry for fiber, they will find these tender blades of new grass close to the soil and pick up massive numbers of larvae.
Combat this by offering hay to keep their bellies full of non infected fiber or keep them off the grass. This will prevent the anemia that will follow a heavy infection of blood sucking barber pole worms.
Check the inner lower eyelid of any goat that is slow to come to the feed bunk or that is not with the herd. Treat pale individual goats with 2 different types of dewormers and get that goat off the pasture and away from the infection.
But do not deworm an entire group. This will create parasite resistance quickly! Remember, a goat herder cannot beat parasites with dewormers alone. The life cycle of the parasite is too short. But use the dewormers as a tool for heavily infected individual goats or sheep.
StockVets will prepare to get phone calls in about 5-10 days which is about the time the anemias will start erupting after the 1st rain NW IN has received in a couple of weeks.
Good luck!
