Uggg..here we go again..What does anyone thing about a 4 week old buck with the scours sort of yellowish in color? Isn't it too soon for Cocci? He is still nursing off of his mom, sort of, she is still trying to wean him off a bit. He is also eating feed and hay and still running and jumping and playing as babies do. Our barn is clean. Seems healthy and happy.

I have started Cocci prevention to be on the safe side, I will not go through what we went thorough w/Nick, although this is a lot different, Nick looked like he was sick, this guy does not. I am wondering if it has to do with the feed or the hay? He has been eating feed for the past 2 weeks or so, and has been nibbling at the hay. The other goats seems fine and the hay is fresh. We have not changed our feed either. The only thing we have done different, is in the morning I add some cracked corn to the feed, they love it! but the feed already has some cracked corn in it so it is really not different. What do you think?

By the way it is freezing here!! I had my a/c on yesterday, the heat on today..what is going on w/the weather..LOL..
