I just wanted to let you know I have been using Source(iodine and potassium mostly), a horse supplement (digestion and feed utilization) it does not list selenium on the package so I also use Vita-Key which has no potassium in it and little iodine. When I bought my horse I started feeding this because we have limited pasture and I have to keep him on a rotation and we are selenium deficient in the NE. I started feeding this blend to Bubba (oberhasli wether) his coat is much shinier and darker(extra copper is needed by red haired horses, I am assuming this is true of goats). Bubba has less bloat when he is moved from pen to pen to browse. I think if you have tried everything and nothing is going your way try the seaweed meal and feed copper supplement. In horses copper deficiency will increase worm problems, probably true in goats too. I am interested in the seaweed meal you have Gary.
