Before you buy a goat, there's one important question you may not have thought to ask: How does the seller manage internal parasites?
When you purchase a goat, you could be bringing home more than just a new addition to your herd. You might also be introducing dewormer-resistant worms that could create serious health problems for your goats for years to come.
In this episode of Goat Notes, we're talking about why a breeder's deworming practices matter and what you should ask before purchasing goats. We'll cover the red flags to watch for, why routine deworming can contribute to drug resistance, and why a goat that's recently been dewormed isn't necessarily a safer purchase.
Whether you're buying your first goats or adding to an established herd, understanding the seller's parasite-management practices is an important part of protecting your goats' health.
