After getting fecals done by our goat club this weekend didn't work out, I went in search of another option. I was so happy to find this website! I am sending off baggies next weekend! :weee The pricing is much better than $60 per fecal from my vet. I hope this is useful for someone else. :)

Your vet charges $60 PER FECAL???? :th
Yup. Trust me, I was a little shocked too. She does so many nice things for us for free though (including sonograms, disbudding, and surgical castration), so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. :D

That is great!

I prefer and encourage others to learn how to do their own with actual EPG's BUT not everyone feels comfortable with it, so this is great! The down side is when you need a fecal now... the shipping could get expensive. For whole herd individual samples 2x a year though... that would be great!!!!!!!!!!

My vet charges $12 if I drop them off. He only lives 2 miles away so it works out great for us.

I do want to get a microscope and do my own.
