How we Manage Our Herd
How we Manage Our Herd
We have been raising goats for decades and have learned a lot through first hand experience. We always try to provide the best possible care for the animals who entrust us with their health.
Many emergency situations can be avoided through good preventative management and we hope the following resources will lead to discussions about the practices you implement on your farm, and any room you might see to improve the health and wellbeing of your own stock.
Internal Parasite Management
Because they evolved as browsing animals, goats are naturally more susceptible to internal parasites than traditional grazing livestock.
Vaccinations
We respect that the choice to vaccinate or not is one each herd manager must make depending on their own assessment of risks and benefits.
Birthing Management
There are many variables surrounding birth and the neonatal period that can influence the success of a kidding season.
