That is nice! It’s all about your location and climate, I believe. Ivermectin as a goat wormer has become less effective here in GA due to over use, but combined with Valbazen it still works well. (Ps None of my goats got Covid 😁)

I usually only need a chemical dewormer about once a year (spring usually) or after kidding, and some of goats never need deworming which is amazing. They always show a tiny amount of worms on fecal. I rotate pastures as I can, and always feed their hay off the ground.

My farm vet says I have the healthiest herd she’s ever seen around here and I must be doing something right lol.

It is an expensive hobby, though.

No kidding. But its nice to hear someone else is taking such good care. I was goat superintendent at the county fair for 5 years. Had about 75 goats and 50 some kids in the barn. At check in time I had a vet there and the kids had to pay 2.00 a head and have them looked over. Many goats showed poor care.
