I have chosen to raise my goats as naturally as possible. I will not be giving vaccinations, my goats are wormed using herbal dewormers and essential oils. I strive to treat any issues herbally whenever possible. All babies will be disbudded, unless paid for at birth and arrangements made to leave horns.
Feed:
My does and doelings are fed 2nd or 3rd cutting alfalfa along with a bit of grain. My milkers get non-gmo locally grow and ground grain daily on the milk stand and the rest get 1/4-1/2 c. in the morning with their mineral and kelp. Updated 2019: currently all goats are getting unlimited quality grass hay along with non-gmo alfalfa pellets. So far this is working well and a lot less waste. They have free choice minerals as well.
The bucks get a good quality grass hay and their minerals.
I do copper bolus twice a year. Other herbs are given as needed.
Apple Cider Vinegar is added to the goats water buckets when I remember.
Wormer:
Fir Meadows LLC http://www.firmeadowllc.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html
DWormA and GI soother are the 2 main products I use for worming and cocci
I currently use Young Living essential oils in their water trough for worming unless I see problem with a specific goat and then I will treat individually with the products above. I use oregano and orange. Please only use quality tested essential oils for internal use.
I trim all the goats hooves at least once a month.
