Pour on works but it is late and you will get a lot of hair loss anyways.
If you do nothing and the weather is coming sunny it will clear up on its own.
Up to you.
Keep 'em fed and watered - either way they will be fine.
Mark this time in your mind - then next year use a pour on 90 days ahead of this time frame.
Pour ons usually run out of juice around the 90 to 100 day mark - but you will have killed the lice by this time.

Good points but...... he has a possible lice problem 'now' That means he did not ivermectin when he should have which means even though the lice may go by summer he still will benfit by ivomecing his cattle now which will cover grubs, worms ect. ect.
