The best thing you can do is to have your vet do egg counts on your sheep.
This would tell you what type of worms your fighting . He could also tell you
what wormers are working best in your area.

I switch between an Ivomec product and panacur or valbazen. Although I never worm with valbazen in the fall because of risk of abortion. I usually try and worm 4 times a year. I use either injectable ivomec product or drench. I use this with sheep...don't have a clue with goats!
I hate to disagree with Gordon, but my vet isn't good with fecal counts. They actually have a hard time with identifying worms!
Maybe your vet is better.
