The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Safeguard for Goats

We treated all of the goats for worms today.  We used SafeGuard (fenbendazole) for horses.  The dosage for goats is 4 times the horse dose.  So when we dosed Asha, we calculated her weight at 150 pounds, multiplied by 4, and dosed her for 600 pounds.  She was not interested in helping, but holding her in the stanchion made it nearly impossible for her to object.
