This means we do not milk a doe unless her kids continue to reach an ideal weight. If a mom has more kids than she can adequately feed, we provide her babies with extra goat milk. By paying close attention to weight gain, providing plenty of milk, and minimizing stress, we produce healthy kids with strong immune systems. Our kids do not typically need chemical dewormers or coccidiostats. Although we humans get less milk with this approach, it is best for the goats and also a critical part of preventing dewormer resistance, a serious problem on many farms.
