The topic no one asked for but the MilkMaids provided anyway! Before you even get your first farm animal, it is important to know about parasites. In this episode, we will break down internal and external parasites, the best protocol to have with your farm animals and your parasite management, what medications to use according to what species you are dealing with, and debunking some common ‘natural’ myths!
Our shoutout this week goes to Black Farmer Fund out of New York! You can find out all about them at http://www.blackfarmerfund.org and don’t forget to contribute to their cause utilizing Amazon Smile!
As always, you can reach us at milkmaidspodcast@gmail.com
Happy Milking!
