We operate under the care of a very good Veterinarian and I can’t say enough about finding one for yourself. We recommend ours to anyone in our area. Making sure your dogs and farm animals receive optimal care is as important as clean water and good food.
If you have questions about finding a good vet, we have found that smaller practices with older vets have been more fair with their pricing and care. And then on the other hand, we have had our worse experiences with franchise (chain) vet offices.
We worm our Dogs and puppies with several different kinds of wormers in rotation. We give extra vaccinations like NeoPar and make sure the puppy shots are done on time. We give adult vaccines that include leptospirosis to our adults. We give Bravecto for fleas and ticks and absolutely love this product and we always recommend using it, we live on (7.5 acres between our 3 properties) 2.5 acres that back to 40,000 acres of wildlife management area (the green swamp), we love being outdoors and usually never have a problems with fleas or ticks.
Our medical program is very through, but our dogs and puppies enjoy being in the country and we enjoy playing with them on our place. But we also understand that they can acquire parasites and other things from the water and dirt so we are proactive in protecting all our babies from those things by having a medical program that covers it all.
We hatch somewhere between 800 and 1400 chicks every week and supply some of the local feed stores with our chicks. We make sure they get a great start and have a foolproof recipe for success. Having a great brooder and being ready for issues that arise is what it is all about. Having a well stocked medicine cabinet for your chickens is the only way go. By the time they are showing signs they are 75% gone.
We raise hair sheep and meat goats and pride ourselves that our flock is very parasite resistance. Keeping our lambs and kids healthy and vaccinated ensure they grow up strong like their parents.
