I live in northern NM. I have never given copper or wormed. Goats are healthy. Others in NM do give copper and worm. Any thoughts, especially on the copper? Should I be giving extra? How would I know?
I chuckled at your last comment because it so ME. Yep, I panic a very little sign of possibly illness and suddenly want someone else to tell me what to do. When I probably know....my insecurity.:idunno

OMG! You sound so much like me when I got my first goats. I researched myself to death, tried everything and gave them everything I read or heard about. Years later, this is what I do: No body gets grain or alfalfa except pregnant or nursing mamas. My wethers and girls with no kids get only...
