It has been awhile since we talked goats..
I spent the day playing and learning how to test a fecal sample and looked for assorted worms. Only problem is I came up with something that doesn't look like anything on the worm page: http://fiascofarm.com/goats/fecals.htm
What I found looks more like a thick rubber washer. There were a lot of them. I could reconize differnt pieces of digested hay & grains.. and other little things.. but these ??washers?? well I can't figure them out at all. Other than them I could fine no other sign of worms. There were none of the other pictures in the samples, I ran two from two different samples.
Should I worm her anyway?? Most farmers I have been speaking to are worming for fall in the near future.
