Willie just a thought. After you worm and then worm again, you might want to think about this. We had a "now" very well known Texas Boer Breeder come to our farm to purchase Nubains years ago, to use in embryo transplant. She looked at our large group of Nubian doelings and commented on, why hadn't I wormed them since they had bottle jaw? They didn't have bottle jaw at all, especially Nubians, carry very aggressive dew laps that will swell when they are on full milk diets. We have heard them called everything in the book even iodine goiters, they are nothing but milk goiters and is a sure sign of a well fed kid! And if you have purebreds (bred up Boers) or Boer crosses, than they carry this genetic makeup also!
Gary is just going to have to start running a fecal site! You could send him some poop by mail and he could post your results for you!! :) Vicki
