⏰ Attention goat owners: If you're considering disbudding your kids, timing matters! We strongly recommend performing this procedure before kids reach 14 days of age.

Early intervention:
• Minimizes discomfort
• Reduces the likelihood of scurs (partial horn regrowth)
• Provides the best possible outcomes

Old Dominion Veterinary Services is offering weekly disbudding clinics throughout kidding season. Contact us immediately after birth to secure your appointment!

“Once in your life you may need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, and a preacher but every day, three times a day, you need a farmer.” Whether you are a producer or a consumer, agriculture is a critical part of our lives!

Today for Ag Literacy Week, Dr Harris and her daughter, along with members of Goochland 4-H Livestock Club, read “Outdoor Farm, Indoor Farm” to students at Beaverdam Elementary School. Fourth graders studying Virginia history were surprised to learn that agriculture is still Virginia’s largest industry, just as it was in Colonial times! Thanks to Hanover County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee for providing books to leave with the classes!

🐮 When you're a petite vet, and your patients are supersized!

Sometimes being a small-statured veterinarian means getting creative during exams! Our Dr. Harris may not be tall, but what she lacks in height, she makes up for in determination and problem-solving skills. Sometimes, checkups require a little climbing, some careful maneuvering and a good sense of humor.

Why Vaccinate? Vaccines are one of the mainstays of disease prevention that we provide for our animals. There are core vaccines that we recommend for every herd, while others are used only in specific higher risk situations. Vaccines are chosen based on the risk of exposure, how common a disease is, and the cost of the disease when it occurs.

🐑 Winter Prep for Kidding and Lambing Season! 🐐

With cold weather rolling in and baby season around the corner, let's make sure our little ones stay warm AND healthy!

Here's your winter shelter checklist:
- Get those 3-sided shelters ready to block those nasty winds
- Switch from wood shavings to straw bedding (lets babies nest and stay cozy!)
- Keep heat lamps handy for any weak or orphaned newborns

🚨 Important Health Reminder 🚨
While we're all focused on keeping babies warm, don't forget about keeping their space clean! Parasites (especially coccidia) love to build up in shelters.

Your cleaning to-do list:
✔️ Replace bedding regularly
✔️ Keep it dry
✔️ Clear out droppings
✔️ Clean surfaces when you can

A warm AND clean shelter = healthy kids and lambs!
