There is excellent natural health help from Molly’s Herbals for your goats and other animals. I’ve been very happy with the two-part wormer for my goats.
Wondering which books to buy so you always have the information you need at your fingertips?
Goat Reference:
Goat Production Manual, Second Edition (ISBN 978-1-2620-2) – just the book to have if you need to second-guess your vet
Storey’s Guide to Raising Dairy Goats (ISBN 978-1-60342-580-3) – lots of general information
How To Raise Goats (ISBN 978-0-7603-3157-6) – my personal favorite, this one includes more than just diary goat information and is written in a practical, accessible style
Poultry Reference:
Backyard Poultry Naturally (ISBN 978-1-60173-004-6) – Basic information on both ducks and chickens with a DIY focus. I love the plant profiles section in this one
