Only if your sheep have scrapie. You may want to go to pipevet.com and ask for their latest catalog, they have excellent articles in it, and also great books. You can also call them their at their vet clinic and ask a vet this question. US will soon be in a scrapie program that will be mandatory, and since angora goats are part of the US Sheep and Goat program, even boer, pet, dairy, and all meat goats will be part of this mandatory program. Goat and Sheep Rancher over at egroups.com is a great site for sheep and this whole scrapie discussion has been in lots of the dairy sites, Nubian Talk, for one and you can view these disscussions in the archives, by putting "scrapie" in the search engine over at Egroups.com.
