Hi from one goat girl to another,

I use Clout S backline made for sheep, it is a pyrethroid product, for the lice that appear from time to time on my goats. However mine are the chewing kind that live on skin detritis (flakes of dead skin around the base of the hair on goats. If yours are the biting kind that live on blood, then you will need to get hold of a product made for goats in  'mectin'' group, such as Caprimec, which seems to be quite effective. Your vet or local rural supplier may be able to reccomend a less expensive brand to you, but I have found Caprimec to be very effective.

cheers,

Barb
