Kidding season is almost upon us, and one of the most common questions we get is "Doc, when is the best time to dehorn my goats?" Below we explain our current recommendation:

When goat kids are born they have tissue called "horn buds", which are the germinal cells that quickly develop into horns as the kid grows. By only 2 weeks of age the buds have already attached to the skull and are well on their way to becoming horns. Knowing that, we recommend removing horn buds at 3-5 days of age. At that age the horn bud is not yet attached to the skull, making removal more successful, and also less stressful for the kids.

If you have questions regarding disbudding or would like to make an appointment, please give us a call (608) 592-7755

Lodi Veterinary Care was recognized on the Wisconsin Association of School Board’s 2023 Business Honor Roll District due to their significant contributions to the students in the careers and technical education department with the School District of Lodi. Their involvement in providing tours, hosting guest speakers, and leading stations at the fall Day on the Farm has made a positive impact. Additionally, their support of the FFA program is commendable and reflects a commitment to fostering educational and career development opportunities for students interested in agriculture.

Thank you, Lodi Veterinary Care - Companion!

In this article published in Hoard's Dairyman, Dr. Terri Olivette explains why lung ultrasound is a worth while tool to implement on your farm. Several of our livestock veterinarians are trained in this and have routine scheduled herds that they perform this service for with successful results.

Dr. Terri Ollivett breaks down why lung scanning is worth the cost in this Hoard's Dairyman column. Bottom line: up-front costs = long-term gains for calves and your herd.
