Waiting on cocci prevention? And an OT question.

MaddieLynn · #1 03/18/12, 09:59 PM

We have 2 "batches" of kids right now. They're one week apart. Is it ok to wait till the first batch is 4 weeks old to start cocci prevention so we can do it at the same time?

OT: In a market goat class, will a goat with an overbite be counted off? Our neighbors have a kid whose body type I love, but he has an overbite.

You run the risk of cocci stunting the first batch, but I have done it. Just make sure they are kept in clean environment the first month. Cocci is natural, what you are doing is building up resistance.

Mouth faults are counted off, but some "grow" into them and you would never know by the time they are show ready.

Better off just going 2 weeks on the other batch of kids.
