Some of these situations may be easily handled on your own or with the help of an experienced producer. In other cases, you really need the expertise of a veterinarian. Planning ahead by knowing when you would benefit from veterinary help, and budgeting for veterinary care is part of good livestock management.https://extension.umaine.edu/publications/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2016/01/goat-producer-family.jpg1000665
