I want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. I have been doing a lot of reading about the relationship between barber pole worms and copper in sheep and also cattle. It seems like with adequate copper and pasture rotation, barber pole worms are not as much a problem for goats as I thought. This has been a great learning lesson for me. I am just so thankful my little doe did not have to die in order for me to learn this. A new loose mineral feeder has been installed for the Dexters and also for the goats. The goats also have a very expensive bale of alfalfa hay. They are on the road to a full recovery.
