Our Opinion on Hoof Trimming.
This is a most neglected facet of goat raising. Goats hooves require very careful trimming in order to keep them standing square.
Due to their activity and penchant for play, their hooves usually wear nicely and require only slight, but very important trimming.
Seldom does the frog (soft fleshy heel) require more than mere shaping with excess tissue between halves removed to bring the two parts together.
The toe is quite another matter. The toes need trimming so as to keep the bottom of the hoof parallel with the hair line where the hoof joins the pastern. Avoid a rounded rocking-chair hoof - strive for flatness that brings the kid forward, standing toward the toe.
Avoid rolled hoof edges that harbor foot rot and decayed matter.
Many cases referred to as a "cow-hocked" are nothing more than the signal for corrective hoof trimming. ie. slightly more removal of hoof on the outside half and toe to bring the balance and weight outward.
Our Opinion on Worming.
Worming 5 to 6 weeks of age is in our opinion not too early to start a worm control program with growing kids.
4 weeks is perfectly all right and may be necessary in some situations.
Patterns of two wormings at 15-21day intervals are far more effective than single occasional wormings.
Most instances of poor growth in kids and poor absorbtion of foodstuffs are the result of ineffective worming.
Some worms are in the kid at birth; infection is prenatal. Even in the cleanest premises a kid's curious nibblings and trial tastings will result in the ingestion of worms. Almost all kids have a bout with coccidia during their early kidhood. It is just plain stupid to wait for the signs of worm infestation to appear as sometimes this is too late.
