Loving the herd life
I know a couple of breeders that use the Purina Goat minerals and love them. So try them and see how your goats do with them. It certainly won't kill them and you may find that they do well on them.
Well we defnately try to keep up with the preventative health care. We've done vaccines regularly, I try to keep an eye on their hooves regularly so they get trimmed when needed and they have a couple clean shelters to use. We may not have the perfect etup here but we are making it work for us. We've been lucky not to have much bad happen really with them. The only emergency we really have dealt with so far was getting Bailey back in better health when we first got her.DonnaBelle said:I didn't mean to make you think your DH had bought the horrible wrong thing.
I just wanted to give you information.
Just give them the Purina until it's gone, then get some Manna Pro if you wish.
Believe me, all of us have tinkered and fine tuned what we feed to our goats as well as what minerals, hay, etc.
If they have Purina minerals, hay, some 16% protein goat feed, and lots of fresh water, they'll be fine.
In my humble opinion, they need preventitive health care. In other words, vaccinations on time, hoof trimming, and good clean shelter to keep them in top shape.
And when you do all of the above, s**t still happens.
