What do we keep in our Goat Medical Closet?
When we were building our house at the goat farm I thought to myself, what will I ever do with a laundry room this big? As you can see I quickly converted it into a Goat Medicine / Care closet. We lost some goats in the beginning ju
st because we didn't know. After that I began to research and study in hopes of not having any more goats die at the farm. I can't tell you how much money we have spent on goat supplies because I don't know. I am afraid to add it up.
Here are some of the things we keep on hand.

*Our goat medical close is work in progress. I have so much on hand. I would rather have it at 2am and save a life, than loose a goat because everything was closed and the Vet can't get here in time!
