BUGS in Goat's fur/hair!!! ?????

[Emmetts Dairy]

I was strongly advised to never use "pour on" on goats. I never have anyway..but after that never will. TSC has it I know that....but I dont know what feed store you have up there.

If you dusting...same theory...repeat in about 10-12 days to kill the 2nd hatching!!! Ick!! I hate those things!!!

Definatley a part of goaties and chickens etc...dealt with it!! But I know how you feel..gives ya the creepy crawlies!!!

Good luck!!!

PS Wear mask while doing this...its very fine and its not pleasant!!!

I use Sevin dust...dust down the backs of the adults (do this carefully so you don't get a huge cloud of dust going), then dust the shelter after removing the bedding. Use DE on the little guys, but again - don't stir up a cloud (DE shouldn't be inhaled). I have also used Lavagio 'Lice-b-Gone' for humans on my babies and it has worked. (It's a herbal treatment for people's lice). DON'T forget to treat their areas that they stay, or you won't get far with getting rid of the lice. Good luck!

We've only had problems early on with our ND bucks before we started clipping them every summer. We've learned that if we get that heavy hair coat off once a year they do much better. And of course bathing if necessary during the warm weather.

Just finished dusting the barn and animals... "Hack Hack Cough Cough" Even with a mask that stuff is nasty! Like trying to NOT breathe in baby powder.

Yeah, until the 21 to 23... then comes round two. At least we are being able to get it over with before the new kids arrive mid-March to mid-April.
