Okay, it appears that my Nubian/Lamancha girls are still struggling getting preggo... I was hopeful that both were bred, by the one buck just went after both of them again today, so I'm taking that as a sign that they are not bred... I may just end up selling these 2 girls as brush eaters and pets, or there is a guy up the road well he'll eat anything, at least that way I know they won't be out in a field somewhere being neglected and not cared for... and suffering...
I have wormed, copper bolused, selenium/vitamin E gel, but noticed that my area is also iodine deficient. I also read that kelp had a good source of iodine... I went online to see where I could get some, and I found some from amazon for like $87.00 and a 50 lb bag for $137.00. I'm still on unemployment and I can't afford those prices.... I'm willing to do 30-40 bucks... Where do you get yours? I read that you can paint the tail web with iodine for deficient goats, is this true? Should I just try that instead? The odd thing is everyone else is healthy it's just these 2 girls.... But since I am in a deficient area should I treat all my kids?
