I was just wondering how people deworm there goats? I've seen the type you and to grain and the one that's a liquid that you inject into their mouths. That's the one I've been using, but I was wondering if their was a easier way. I have such a hard time opening thier mouths and the other day I ended up with most of it on me. Help.

Unfortunately there are not a lot of options for goats. If your goats will eat the feed additive, that is the easiest option, assuming that particular dewormer works for your parasites. If you don't have a lot of goats to deworm, you might want to buy the horse dewormers, which are paste. If you put the dispenser in the back of their mouth, they can't really spit it out, partly because it's paste and partly because the dose for a ND goat is so low. You would need to check the dosage though and see how it compares to what goats need. Usually it's 2-3X the horse dosage.
