BLARK! Ew. Argh.

Poor you. And ewe.

I don't give the goats an option. Up on the milk stand. Head secured. Dose with whatever. DONE!

No, you absolutely do not. But believe me, none of the "sampling" I've done was on purpose. Not in the least. And so far, none of it has been pleasant.

That's pretty much my philosophy as well. I offered them the Replamin to see if they would take it on their own and make it easy for me. Yesterday was the 2nd dose for my herd. Same results - two does got it shoved down their throats on the milk stand. One doe again sucked it down like goat crack and tried to eat the syringe. Again! My buck, you'd have thought I was killing him. Had to make him eat it. But it's done for this week...
