What's your experience with ticks? We have some pretty high tick populations in the areas we hike and it's nearly impossible to sometimes come home with out one or two on the kids (the human kind) and yesterday found one inside the ear of one of the goats so it got me wondering ... does everyone do nose to tail inspections and pick them, use tick / flea treatments like for dogs ?

Thanks Rachel ... I'll give that a try. It does seem the goats are a lot less prone to picking up the ticks for some reason. Right now my children can't return from the pasture without a tick but I've been checking the goats daily and haven't found any since the one in the ear.
