What kind of wormer do you use for your goats?

We always just do a half a cc for our kids (pygmy and nigerian dwarf who usually weigh anywhere from 5 lbs to 15 lbs). The recommended dose is 1 cc per 50 lbs - but a lot of people do 1 cc per 34 lbs with good luck.

We do the same for the topical (pour on). The brand we use recommends 1 cc per 22 lbs...so again we just give the kids 1/2 cc.

We dose them once, then again in 4 weeks...then they go on our 3 month (quarterly) schedule.

Thanks, Kate. I didn't want to give them too much or too little.

Safeguard is expensive and junk. I want to start using injectable ivermectrin. Where is a good place to get it?

No problem...remember it's always better to overdose than underdose (except with certain classes, but Ivermec has a wide margin).

I've found Jeffers to have the best prices...
