[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 30452, member: 391"] I don't understand the "(without going broke worming)" part of this. Goats need to be dewormed as often or more so than cattle. I am refferring to NOT getting into a situation where they NEED to be dewormed as much as people are doing it. It ends up backfiring over time(ie resistance). And it just can't pencil out. Much better to manage the worm burdens. Have at least a three pasture rotation system with cattle or horses following(let them eat the hatching larvae). Worm 24 hrs before turning into new pasture. Or Have a dry lot or woodlot to put them in during high contamination periods. Don't let their body score drop too low while lactating(feed or wean early) The ultimate system---- in addition to worm/rotate Monitor membranes for anemia- worm and record on individual needs. Sell the chronics. Group the resistant animals- so they get even less wormer than the general population- and identifies the best choices for replacements. Need to seperate them because even if they are not suffering from the worms they are high output contaminators to the rest of the herd- that are not as resistant. Karen [/QUOTE]
