  • Blind leading the blind

    This woman will have vets on about certain subjects and then will preach the complete opposite of what was discussed. The fact that people pay for her courses........mind boggling. She's no expert.

  • Deborah’s information sharing

    Deborah’s podcast, courses and articles have been the best comprehensive source of information to help me care for my beloved goats. Deborah shares information in a very candid and thorough manner. She seeks answers she may not have and calls on veterinarians in a number of her podcasts. I am 100% in support of Deborah’s work. It has been a highlight in my goat rearing life. No kidding : ).

  • Great show

    I love this podcast and I learn so much every time I listen! My only complaint is the sound quality of the host. There is so much echo that it is sometimes hard to listen to and understand.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dewormer Resistance in Sheep and Goats: Southwest New York Study Findings
Q: Do you remember the things that that particular farm did that they wound up with resistance to all three types of dewormers?
The sheep farm dewormed frequently, kept a small flock with some likely genetic susceptibility, and had continual exposure on a contaminated outdoor lot. Feeders and water were on the ground, which could have contributed to recontamination. The researchers also discussed storage and dosing practices.
Dewormer Resistance in Sheep and Goats: Southwest New York Study Findings
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how exactly you did the study? How did you design it and find the participants and everything?
The team worked with a small group of established southwest New York sheep and goat farmers, conducting farm-management interviews, individual animal evaluations and fecal egg counts. They also tested dewormer effectiveness by comparing egg counts before treatment and two weeks afterward.
How to Use Kickstarter for Farm Projects
Q: What's the biggest difference between Kickstarter and a platform like GoFundMe?
GoFundMe is open-ended and charity-oriented, while Kickstarter is rewards-based and requires delivering a defined product or experience in exchange for support.
How to Use Kickstarter for Farm Projects
Q: Could you walk us through how Kickstarter works and what makes a campaign definable and fundable?
Kickstarter is designed for tangible, creative projects with a clear goal and timeline; you must define a specific product or experience, have a finite budget, and target a defined audience that can be mobilized to fund the project.
CL Study in Goats and Sheep
Q: What should producers do if a blood test comes back positive?
If a test is positive, producers should first consider age, vaccination status, and whether maternal antibodies could be involved, then pursue additional diagnostics (culture or PCR) to confirm active infection before making harsh management decisions. Plans should be in place ahead of time for how to respond to different outcomes.
