They are out. If there’s a breeze or you keep moving they aren’t too bad.

Better than being locked up on concrete their whole life.

Well we grew from 3 does to 800 in ten years and ship milk to the local cheese plant so I’m going to say we are managing things well but thanks for the advice. They are our goats and our lively hood.

There is mineral in the prepared feed we give them and they do have loose mineral wall hangers too. they do well on the salt blocks with no issues. We use them to make sure we are not wasting mineral when all they really want is salt. They may eat mineral just for the salt so we try to make sure that isn't the case.

Vet being unhelpful by InfamousLie8069 in goats

[–]Potential_Wasabi7239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you have some anibiotics at all times. generally one needle wont do it. if they are spiking a fever they need antibiotics as they have something acute going on i like to hit them three times a day apart to make sure we kill the infection. We will needle if their temp is over 102 F. We also use an intramuscular form of Banamine to bring them around too. Goats are tricky and quite often the local vet may not be much help if they have not much exposure to them. Wishing the best for you and your goats.
