Where money is no issue then you can disregard the cost and buy the highest feed you want. But good cattle man and women know the cost of an item doesn’t always DICTATE quality. Our cubes one from one of the top feed mills in Oklahoma. So far our cows have ate the safe guard cubes fine. But have...

First if you had any common sense and reading comprehension you would never of replied to my post. Again just ecause you state it doesn’t mean it is the truth. There are several reAsons too use certain products. Worming isn’t the only benefit gained by using certain products. Again it is obvious...

Find it funny you mention common sense as your comments reflect you don't use it. Our vets suggest protocols and suggest using a combination of products to avoid building a resistance.

Again you are entitled to your opinion and whether too worm or not. I will continue too follow the advice of vets in this area. I feel they know more about what is needed than some poster that has never ran or worked a cow in this area. It is only your opinion the right way to do it. That don’t...

I know what the other options is. I asked for replies from those who have used the cubes. From your comments I would assume you have never used them. I respect your choice not to worm. I will continue too follow the advice of my vets.

My vets suggest I worm twice a year in this area. They suggest to change type of products to prevent a resistance build up. We have back poured mainly recently. Use injectable wormer on weaning calves and our replacements. Will see if our results mirror that of other breeders in this area. We...

It is obvious you have no clue or understand how we handle cattle in this area. Money is an object. Again you have no clue what you are making comments about. Where did I say anything about having an alley? I asked for responses from those who have used the cubes. Have you ever used them?

I have heard mixed results on blocks but good results with cubes. What we fed last night all ate till they were all gone. I know some will consume more. But unless you weigh every head the dosage rate will vary to some degree.

We don’t have the facilities to inject cattle at most pastures. Our cattle are docile and easy too handle so can pour them easy. Most breeders in this area are like us. For some it is hard too even pour. If you handled and ran cattle in this area you would understand.

The herd sizes was 50 head or more. Tell me what the difference is between feeding the cubes and using a pour in or injectable and never weighing what they are pouring or inhecting? Many don’t have a clue what they are pouring or giving a shot. I have seen many times that some were under dosed...

Kenny I have attended 2 sales recently where we sell. The last was Tuesday. Prices are high here but not that high. And everywhere we go eating, feed store, social event many are talking about prices and what to do. Even those who have been in the business 50 years or more and rode our lows...

Have you used them personally. I had that concern but been told by a few that have used them and have done a fecal count before abs after they are very effective. I’m sure there will be a few that don’t get enough. When I fed last evening every cow ate till the end. Know some likely eat faster...

I found some older threads on them but no recent comments. Bought some and fed some this evening. Have friends who have used them and they feel they work. They contain Fenbendazole. Say 1 lb for every 200 lbs of weight. Our herd averages above 1,400 lbs. We are trying them in a rotation with...

On our weaned calves we give a killed virus, Covexxin 8, Somnus, injectable wormer and multi min 90. We worm our cows at least twice a year. Been using a pour on. In order to rotate wormers we are trying feeding the safe guard cube with Fenbendazole one time and an pour on the next. Due to how...

We only use injectable on the calves when we work them and when we wean. Also on replacements before breeding. We did give the five mature cows we AIed an injectable injection. The rest have been getting a pour on twice a year. We try to rotate types of wormers. Are going to try the Safe guard...

This year we are following the advice of a local breeder and our vets. Gave an injectable wormer and Multi Min before start of protocol. We keep out Concept Aid year round. We don’t give any live virus vaccinations on vet advice.

I believe in known genetics and knowing the sire and dam more than I do low accuracy fabricated numbers. I recently bought a polled Hereford bull to use to make black baldie replacements. He has 2 crosses to UPS Domino 3027 in his pedigree. IMO 3037 is one of the proven cow makers that have...

As a commercial breeder we have learned the hard way to not put any merit in an low accuracy EPD. I start looking if they are 60% or above and put merit in them when they are 80% or above. We ask for actual numbers. We use them, visual appraisal and progeny data from the sire and dam’s progeny...

Interested in what sire you went with? Not seeing your heifer or knowing you’re goals hard too give good advice on what you should use. Some of the Growth Fund genetics have worked well here. We are using a Connealy Confidence son as walking sire on them. Will use Jet Black and Musgrave...
