The "countdown" is on! Goat kids should be arriving in about three weeks! As the goat keeper, I have been busy making sure each of the does has their proper "boost" before birth!
Each of the does receives Selenium/Vitamin E gel before their due date. I have written in a previous post about the benefits of giving this supplement. See "Selenium and CD/T." The gel is butterscotch flavored so the goats love it!
I also give 2cc of the CD/T (Tetanus) shot. I felt much more confident about giving vaccines this year!
I was concerned that the bottle said to use all of the contents upon opening. However, some other farmer-friends told me that it keeps fine in the fridge for longer periods of time.
The goat pen is a great place to be!
