We are getting requests for help in this area.... For those of you with dogs, please don't share any salmon or salmon parts with them- trash bag anything you don't want and get if off of your place... Watch that your dogs do not have access to salmon streams as well...
For those that want to take precautions in case their dog has gotten into some, or if you dog has... I would use HerBiotic tincture and DWorm T or DWorm MLL on my own dogs for this issue for several days in a row. The tinctures have a 3 to 5 year shelf life, so keeping some on hand isn't that difficult.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone :)
blessings, Kat

Mid November updates...
I think I see the sun peaking out, maybe we'll have some afterall! Mornings are cool in the milkroom (actually milk area). We don't have heat out there, so it makes you get extra efficient with chore time! Last year we did roof in the area that will be our milkroom- directly behind the barn. Later this winter my husband is hoping to get wall and floors (concrete) in. We'll see. We pay as we go, and concrete is expensive. All according to God's will and timing.... Goaties are doing well however, starting to decide who to go ahead and dry off, and who I want to keep milking longer for their milk records etc. Had test this week, so Rosine ought to be over 4000 pounds. We'll have hardcopy reports probably late next week... We think we are done breeding, unless someone recycles.... We have decided to keep Zana Hosanna as a dry yearling... Have a 4Her coming later today to look at our togg bred doelings, perhaps to get one as a project goat... We certainly don't need 5 bred togg doelings :)!
Praise God I finished my first reflexology level last night. One more book, my labs (work on the feet of 8 people weekly for 5 weeks and charting it), and the final test and I'll have the coursework done. Then to look into Oregon's final licensing requirements/fees.... I have already learned so much! helped a neighbor's knee feel immediatly better this week- didn't even touch her knee :). After that my husband decided I could help him with his chronic tendonitis. That will take longer due to it's chronic nature. But he could immedidately feel improvement in pain and movement... So it's all fun.... and helpful too. Fearfully and wonderfully made we are for sure! Iridology, I am just sending off for my exam in level one today. It ought to be here later next week. So the remainder of this week and next week will involve a lot of study time for that... That field, as well, is just simply AMAZING! It' s also fascinating to me to see how the herbalism, reflexology, aromatherapy and iridology info overlaps back and forth. Could indicate a same Creator me thinks... ;O) Aromatherapy exam results have come in and looks like I did well, so that certification is on it's way. I'll have to look into Oregon requirments on that. I'm not sure if I can practice with an Aromatherapist title in this state without a LMT license... I'll find out later... Interesting how some alternatives are regulated by licensing and some are not (like herbalism as it's not recognized by the govt)...
After a lot of research, we have released a new tincture this week- one that gives the support needed in cases of lungworm, liver fluke, and menengial worm (deer) problems. It actually doesn't taste THAT bad. Bad yes, That Bad, no. Yes, I do taste and try everything I make...
Speaking at the Oregon Meat Goat Breeders conference was fine. Nice group of people, and the fact that the conference was local was bonus for me :). No overnights :). We may have two speaking engagements coming out of contacts the Lord made from this one. We'll see. It's up to Him. I'm certainly in no rush for those!
Flus are making their rounds and I'm getting local calls for herbal help on those. The media has people so scared. Aware is good. Scared is not.... As flus go, the most media-ized one is not a bad flu as far as flus go, so nothing to panic over, but certainly flus should never be ignored either...
I hope this finds everyone doing well! And a very Happy Thanksgiving! Even though this world appears to be getting more strange, we reallly really do have so very much to Thank God for.

Fall updates....
Hoping this finds all of you blessed as we approach our Thanksgiving season.... :) It's been a busy couple of months how do we summarize?
Breeding season is nearly done, come the very last few days of Feb and March it is going to be crazy around here with so many bred so close together.... We're excited about the upcoming kid crop though! Still milking, though we will be tapering down on that after the next test- drying some up... Rosine is at 3900 and going, we plan to keep her in milk for a full 305... We also had one buck collected yesterday, Zabulon "Lonnie", so have him in the tank for future use, and have a possible buck sale in the works to Canada...
ON the herb side, wow, we are really going through the ReBuilld salves- I'm not sure if that's good or bad- that means there are injuries out there to be nurtured, but at least it's good that we have a product that is helping people :). We have a new tapeworm tincture and new menengial worm, lung worm, and liver fluke tincture in process.... We've had many requests for something for those parasites.... I really really like that RespirAide syrup! Besides doing the eucalyptus nostril swipes on 7/8 month old kids, any that had more than just a bit of a runny nose I give about 20 cc of the RespirAide usually about 3 or 4x a day and it turns them right around. Obviously for a serious problem I would give it more frequently, and combine other products & therapies with it.... ClostridEaze has come in handy this week as well. Shekkinah dumped her head into the grain barrel- we don't think she got too much- but you never know and they sure don't fess up! So I gave her about 3 tablespoons of ClostridEaze as a precautionary measure, and did that for two more followups. We never did have any problems with her, thankfully....
I did finish my aromatherapy exam a couple weeks ago, and am in the middle of both reflexology and holistic iridology... Both are absolutely fascinating!
Puppies. We had a puppy surprise this fall! It takes us 2 months to make vet apptments for doggie alterations. So 3 days before Lug's appointment, he and Peaches had a quick romance, and 2 months later we have 6 pyrenees puppies! Some are presold, some are still available. They are ready for new homes Nov 21st... This cross has made some real nice working dogs... They have been purchased to protect goats/sheep, one to protect a small pet dog, and also to protect children from predators....
Last saturday I had the pleasure of teaching an herb class in Redding for goat breeders. It was a lot of fun seeing friends and meeting new people. Thank-you for your support & hospitality as well!
This saturday I'm teaching at the Oregon meat goat conference, and I expect that will be a lot of fun as well. The best part is it is pretty local this year- so not too much for travel time :).
Blessings All,
Kat
