Jodief100--- random stuff and BIG news

We wormed our does with Valbazene one time a few years ago and had 3 of the 15 does abort. So I think the valbazene could be the cause, but I remember them aborting around 2 or 3 days later. Sounds like yours have been a few days.

I would maybe put her on a round of LA 200 since she isn't eating well. Some of the abortion diseases can cause them to go off feed. And all of them are treated with tetracyclenes.

Of course there are other possible causes, heavy worm load, anemia, poisonous plant, injury from getting hit by another goat. ect.....

Sorry you lost the kids.

Sorry about the lost kids.

"They" say Valbazen's safe after 45 days but....I won't use it on a pg doe at all.

Just a suggestion for future sales....Minimum Purchase!
I got tired of the 'onesie-twosie' customers a long time ago and instituted a $10.00 min. purchase. If I'm selling chicks for 1.00 ea (day old straight run or some such), and you only want 2...great...but you're paying me $10.00 for the 2. It's not worth it for me to inturrupt my day 3x to sell 2 chicks ea. time for 6$ total.

Thank you. I gave her LA 200 last nigh and she is perkier this morning. I will keep a close eye on her. My herd is a "market" herd but Jaz is more a pet than a "commercial goat".

Jaz is feeling better. She is smaller and has no horns so I think she just can't get in and get her share of the grain very well. I have been considering keeping her sperate but a lone goat wouldn't do. I could put her and her daughters together but it is very difficult getting the ones I have rotated around without throwing another group into the mix.

I am going to have to think long and hard and consider my options. Jaz just isn't thriving in my herd but I just love her to pieces. For now I am going to dry her off and keep her with the mommy goats who have a higher grain ration. Then I will wait and long time to breed her again.

It is going to be a busy few days. Saturday we head out to MD with 19 goats for the buck test, mine and two other farm's. My farm sitter is lined up but I couldn't find anyone to watch the greyhounds! So Gracie and Jo will have to come with us.
