Jim , if you think my know all replys were towards you they were not. It was more towards Doc's 4h family .

Experience counts for lots. I am glad your system works for you. It would not for all. I wanted all to know the Famacha is not for all worms just one. I also believe orally is the only way to go with worming. Hit them hard and fast. The only time I use wormer as a pour on or injectable is for external parasites.

If we all had lots of land to rotate we would not need to worry as much. Lots of folks here only have a few acres.

I've got 2 acres, lush with any parasite that loves cool, coastal fog, long rainy days, and few freezes. I'm kind of like the club med for worms! I'd love to know how to rotate on this little ground...any suggestions? I've got the goats on about 3/4 acre-4 roomy pasturettes and a leetle holding pen next to the barnarage(the one car garage part of the ancient 4 car garage has been converted to my little piece of heaven-box stall and tack/hay). One of the pens is my buck's. I do have a "wild patch" full of berry vines, some fern, and other scrubby crud that my husband doesn't want to permanently fence for the goats...how long would I have to move them over to it to "rest" a pasture to get the load down.

Okay, now that we've all kissed and made up, what is the dosage for using the cattle pour on with goats? Thanks.
