Goat farmers are facing some pretty concerning problems with wormer resistance the US due to overuse. There has been a move over the past few years to worming based only on fecal counts or eyelid color. Natural wormers are gaining popularity as well such as https://landofhavilahfarm.com/loh/product/parasite-formula/

Anyway, I absolutely hate the taste of goat’s milk from the grocery store. It tastes goaty to me. My goat’s milk tastes almost like a thicker sweeter version of cow’s milk. My does are not housed with bucks, but just a fence between them so there is definitely hormones going on, lol. The only thing I can sometimes taste is if they get into wild onions. Here, the taste will start becoming goaty within a week stored in my fridge. I’m sure grocery store milk is a lot older than that.

We used Hoeggers herbal wormer on a regular basis and did ivermectin subcu injections twice a year. Never had a problem.
