I forgot to mention- worming them with Ivermectin injectable (you inject it sub Q, under the skin) also gets rid of lice.
Reason I said to wait until spring is that the lice will be in the bedding and manure, so the goats will probably get reinfested right away again unless you clean the barn out, which most people don't do until spring. clipping their coats short (something you should not do until weather is warm, will also more or less get rid of them, and combining clipping with Ivermectin and a barn cleaning is pretty effective for a longer time period.
