We still love goats, but as of the summer of 2025 we have sold our herd and started our new journey with a small flock of dairy and wool sheep.
We regularly attend seminars through the NC State Cooperative Extension. Keeping educated about the health of our livestock is extremely important to us. Living in the Southeast with our warm, moist climate is the perfect place for parasites. We implement rotational pasture management and herbal dewormer to try to keep parasite infestation at bay. We also check FAMACHA scores and do our own fecal exams. We use chemical dewormers only when necessary hoping to maintain the level of parasites that are then resistant to those chemicals.
