What do you use to worm your goats, and when? We have two pet goats, does for weed eating. We are not going to bred them, they are not exposed to other goats, just our horses. We do have deer and other wildlife, no slugs, good drainage, fairly dry climate. How should I be worming them.

If your goats are on land that never had goats, there should be very low parasite loads.
I'd worm them a couple of times about 4 weeks apart with Safeguard, and then only worm them again if they show symptoms

I agree. I worm when they kid & most times do not have to worm again. I try to keep goats that are more hardy & worm resistant.

I use ivomec. Safeguard doesn't give me good results.

Safeguard is really only good for tapeworms.
