Day 3 with our new boy, Nick

[Nanno]

Thankfully it seems that internal CL is far less common among goats than among sheep. Goats usually get external abscesses if they are positive. Internal CL is still a scary possibility though. I've been told that the Swiss breeds, having been exposed to CL bacteria for many centuries, have more natural resistance than the African breeds such as Boer. There is no CL in South Africa, so Boers have extremely low resistance to the disease which is why so many Boers have it (and not only have it, but often have very bad cases of it).

Anyway, I'm really glad to hear that your new goat is CL negative. Yay!
