Seriously, you should check with someone who keeps goats.
Goats require a de-wormer every month that also takes care of ticks and fleas and flies, and it's not cheap.
Check with a veterinarian before you buy a goat, for their health needs.

Goats get wormed every 3-4 months and again 2 weeks later to get rid of the eggs that the wormer didn't kill...at the same time I would trim hoofs, deworm and delouse all at the same time. Goat lice do not live on humans, body temp too low (found this out from my professional shearer that showed up twice a year to shear)/ A good book helps in the beginning but by the first year your a pro. at taking care of goats...my angoras had different needs that other breeds, They can really be fun and a female can easily take care of all their needs, with big bucks and adult weathers it takes a man to help you take them down. (for the hoof trimming etc.) there are special hoof trimming shears. You can have a goat go lame with the feet are not taken care of....You will find that goat people are a great group of people.. You need a vet that deals with farm animals. Many are city vets and you end up knowing more about goats that the vet....they sometimes have to make house calls.Thats important....GG
