		Whoa, I wouldn't want to meet that goat on the trail!  He would make a great guard goat.

		Today I found out Bourbon's younger 1/2 brother, Banjo, is coming "home" on Thursday!  Woohoo!  He's a month younger than Bourbon.  Yes, he's another "no ears."  

  I'll post photos after he arrives.

		I've been checking my goats poop for worm eggs. My biggest producer has a overabundance of either liver flukes,or twisted stomach worms. 

 I counted 81 eggs in her tiny sample!! I also saw a couple thread-neck-nematodes. 

Would Valbazen work good for them?

		So I take it you got a microscope and are learning how to use it. Good for you! This will sure help you figure out what deworming medicines to use, how often, and whether they're working. That's a great first step to getting your herd healthy and productive!

		Tried to stay cool!  Yesterday was 106* which beat our record of 105*.  The cold Columbia River is beginning to sound good!
