First freshener Dexter

[Farmingscots]

I just had goat kids born with iodine deficiency - underbites super little and huge goiters. It’s been a fight but they are still with us.
…and now I’m worried about making sure my Dexter has enough while she’s pregnant so baby will be healthy. Please help me understand what do give my Dexter in these last few months. She is due to calf on June 30th

Do you have access to Redmond mineral?
The 'gold standard' is a buffet of individual mineral tubs (that nobody can actually afford )

but Redmond is a VERY good. I keep it out for my girl.

That’s what we lean toward also. So I’m on the right track at least according to some…I have redmonds with garlic and it helps with the flies. I plant to get kelp meal in my next Azure order.
a neighbor said that if I had given my goat a multi min shot I might not have such an issue with the kids. But multi min is this crazy blue color so it can’t be natural…
