[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 688921, member: 2882"] Must be different in cattle.. With goats, the common wisdom says to worm them with either a white- or avermectin-family wormer before hitting them with levasole if they're carrying a really heavy parasite load. Reason being, the levasole -- for whatever reason -- is potent enough to kill every single worm in a goat all at once, which can lead to them basically bleeding to death from the inside out. By using one of the other two less-effective wormers first, you kill at least some of the load before nuking them out with levasole. Could be because the US goat population has basically exploded in the last 10-15 years or so, by which point most cattlemen had already given up on levasole and switched to ivomec. The worms infecting goats today have probably never seen levasole, so they have no resistance to it like they do with white wormers or avermectins. I got my bottle of sheep boluses today.. Ended up being 87/100 left in the bottle, and it was somewhat expensive at about $60. I wish I could have found the much cheaper levamisole hydrochloride injectable, but oh well...I'll take what I can get. [/QUOTE]
