HOOVES

DEWORMING
We deworm as needed based on FAMACHA checking and selective fecal checks.

FEED
Full pasture (no grain) mid-May until mid-September.

When not on pasture, all goats are fed ADM Meat Goat Power medicated 18%
protein complete pelleted feed. The medication added is decoxx to prevent
coccidiosis. The feed also contains ammonium chloride to help prevent urinary
calculi. The feed is supplemented with selemium and copper in addition to vitamins
and other minerals. We also give each goat 1/2 cup black oil sunflower seeds to
prevent dry, winter skin. In addition, older goats that are having trouble maintaining
their condition are supplemented with ADM Fast Fat.

Hay is always available when the goats are not on pasture.

Loose minerals and sodium bicarbonate are available free choice year round.
