Goats and Worms

The wet summer was good for plants but it was also great for worms. Even though we dewormed the goats the first of August we still ended up losing three to worms. 

So Tuesday we got them all up again for another dose. 

Maggie made sure everyone was ok. 

And they all headed into the barn to be caught by Joe one at a time. I would check eyelids for paleness and dewormed anything questionable. 

Instead of turning them back out on the hill in front of the house, we drove them down into the hollow. I sort of thought they would beat us back around. But they have actually stayed there over 24 hours.  For some reason they just don’t roam around as much anymore.

I kept two back to sell. Someone came to the clinic wanting two young goats for the grandkids. I said I had two that were bottle fed but stayed with the heard. So they were tame but know how to be goats. 

 It was a tight fit to get them in the pet carrier but it worked.  So at least we have two sold.  We will be cutting out the bigger ones to sell in a couple of weeks.
