[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1523966, member: 24016"] JMJ, a few things we have learned about goats that have a major impact on overall well-being- 1. They need copper. Lots. We make sure ours always have free choice high quality loose mineral, and give them each a copper bolus 2 times a year. 2. They need thiamine. If your goats don't have access to browse for stemmy/ woody forage, they may not get enough. Any time we administer any vaccinations, de-wormers, or illness treatment, they get a dose of vitamin B complex. When kids are born, they get selenium (we are deficient) and B complex before they are dry. 3. They need parasite control, especially if dry-lotted. Ours are almost exclusively on dry lot or in small paddocks. We make up for not having browsing by doing the above, and making sure they have stemmy hay. [/QUOTE]
