When I got Arthur home, I didn't hear him coughing until weeks later when he got a seriously high coccidia load...

    Hi Everyone, This has been a rough year for our herd and the New England weather has been crazy. I guess my last 7 years of good luck have run out. I have had a few goats with coughs here and there, but generally acting ok. Noone has fevers and they were all eating fine. Now it seems to be...

    Hi! So, we had our weather change drastically from warm and sunny to freezing ice and snow a couple weeks ago. When this happened the goats passed around a little cold which I treated with an herbal tincture mixed into their feed pellets. Most of them who got it only had it for a day or two then...
