All
of our kids are removed immediately at birth and raised on a CAE
prevention program of heat treated colostrum and pasteurized goat milk. They are given individual attention, are kept penned by
age, and buyers often comment on their strong “socialization”
skills! The kids are kept on deccox-M supplemented milk until
approximately 3 months of age. Top
quality alfalfa hay, with oat or grass hay as well, along with a 16% dairy ration for the milkers, and a deccox added
lamb grower for the kids, a
variety of free choice minerals, and well water are provided for our
animals. Our animals are
dewormed regularly, and we do maintain a coccidiosis prevention program for both the kids and adults. We
vaccinate for Entero, Pneumonia, tetanus, and give Bo-Se. We have also been giving
copper bolus supplements to the does & bucks. All animals are tested
routinely for CAE. We have
not had any abscesses in our herd, and so do not participate in that
vaccination program.
