Vaccine Question

[Hope A.]

Hi Y'all,
It is now approximately eight weeks before our expected kids arrive. Right now I am working on hoof trimming, acclimating them to the milk stand, and vaccinating before they come. Is the normal CDT vaccine enough? And It won't hurt them, right? Is there anything else I should be doing? They have free access to hay and pasture, with a tiny bit of grain a day, as a treat. (They are NDs)
Thanks!

I give the CDT 30 days before kidding.

Sounds like you are doing everything right

We give our CD&T booster 30 days before kidding too.

We are "guestimating" our kid arrival - because we bought bred goats - and gave the CD&T booster this past weekend. I have finally become a goat farmer, because I spend more time watching va-jay-jay's than what they are doing.

Good Luck

Thank y'all so much! I am super excited, this will be my first kidding.
