Hershel taking a jugular blood sample for Brucellosis testing in goats before they are bought. Brucellosis is an important reproductive disease of goats and can be spread to humans.
Hershel kidding around...
Dr. William from the District Veterinary Office with a herd at the Goat Breeding Workshop for local farmers. This Workshop focussed on a breeding nucleus where bucks would be sent to be exchanged between regions in order to maintain genetic diversity (prevent inbreeding).
Some of our beneficiaries in their land on a hot, lovely afternoon. Amazing how quickly they can get around barefoot on the rocky slopes.
Pam working with FAOC and paravet to vaccinate a goat against Clostridial disease.
Rocky, a quick draw...
Hershel and Janet, one of our excellent paravets on the way between farms, with cold vaccine in hand.
