Dewormed brownie 7/8

Dereck went out to field late this night and found Brownie with her head stuck in fence. He freed her but her entire head was swelled like a football. She already had bottle-jaw that we had been deworming her for, but she looked REALLY bad after this incident. We gave her 2.5 ml of Viabazin after we freed her.
We checked on her the next night and while she is still swollen she looks much better and is hanging with the herd more.

Dewormed some goats

Last night we dewormed with Viabazin: princess, poinsetta, pepper.

Bee stings july 5th

While trimming this Sago Palm, I cut a branch that, unbeknownst to me, had a very large wasps nest on it. They attacked and got 12 stings to the face and head. Needless to say the rest of the July 4th holiday weekend was not too much fun. My face swelled, eyes swelled shut and cheeks and forehead puffed out--I look like quasimodo! 4 days later I'm still swelled up and don't even look like myself. UUgghh! The itching is awful but atleast the bones in my face don't ache anymore.
Lesson learned: trim trees in the winter when bees are dormant.

More goat trough pics

Healthily muching some sweet feed.

Goat troughs

We built these troughs for the goats to eat sweet feed from. We designed them from a large pipe cut lengthwise, lumber and old roofing material. We hope that this trough will help to keep them healthier and lessen the worm manifestations in them! We had previously been feeding them in a trough made from metal that hangs on fence but because it was narrow and the goats crowd around it at feeding, it was very hard to get the food in the trough. So goats usually ate the feed off the ground.
