[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1796164, member: 25884"] I wouldn't either... get her good and full of hay and give her a week at least... if she has a huge bunch of worms and they die off too quick could cause toxic reaction... happens in sheep often... so you want their gut tract working good so they will pass out the manure fairly quickly in the digested hay and grain.... and had one pass so many worms that it was like getting a blockage and I nearly lost the calf... about 2-3 months old... wouldn't grow... worms were sucking the life out of it and calves normally don't get worms that young.... given to me years ago when someone wanted a calf and got tired of it and then didn't half take care of it... managed to get it turned around so it did grow some... not very great... but it didn't die...
