  • I was wondering about a natural goat wormer. So that is what you can use for that purpose- Diatomaceous Earth? Tell me more…..

    Katie have Jeff keep his eye out for Black Walnut trees when he’s cutting. Be sure to leave at least one you can access. Next year you’ll have all the Black Walnut tincture you can get for the animals. We throw handfuls of the green hulled walnuts (they’re the strongest when they’re still green) in the waterers and leave them there. Not to mention a certain puddle by our tree that is always full of walnutty water. Some goats will even eat the green walnut hulls.
