    Suggestions on bottles for brand new kids ??

    My favorite bottle for my pygmy goats when they kids is the Playtex advance bottle nipples, with a x cut into it. I do a small cut for the new borns and a bigger x for the toddlers and they all seem to latch on fastest for me with these.

    Prohibit Levamisole Drench Powder for Sheep - Goat Dosage?

    wow, its potent stuff ay. I use it to kill a type of flatworm in saltwater aquariums. In saltwater, you do a light dose then a week or two later you do a regular dose because killing the worms releases a poison. And killing to much worms in the tank at once creates so much poison it can kill...
