Awwwwwwww!!! I'm not one for Lamancha's - haven't seen one in person so I can't yet get past the earless point :hide

But those babies are dang cute! Congratulations - seriously! It's always nice when everything goes how it should be.

Tanks - I do vaccinate my goats so about 4 weeks prior to kidding (give or take a week) I give the doe a CD&T shot. Once she kids I deworm her 3 days after kidding, then again in 10 days. I've never had huge issues with worms to begin with, but after kidding they're more suceptible to parasites.

I give the kids their first CD&T vaccination around 3 weeks of age and then again at 6 weeks of age. At 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 9 weeks I also give them their coccidia treatment, which is DiMethox 12.5%, once a day for 5 days.

After all that - they only get wormed as necessary and have their CD&T shot once a year.

NOT Southern, Ca. :)
I guess vaccines are like just about everything else. Some do some don't. I was just not sure how soon after they were born things needed to be done.

It's all a bit overwhelming for me.

It was overwhelming to me at first too. And then I realized I could take it day by day, week by week. And it all fell into place.

I have little sweaters to put on the kids I have - they came with hoods, though so I have to stitch the hood to the back of the sweater so it doesn't accidentally cover their faces/heads. I love goat kids in coats!
