Can I use a drench internal wormer and a pour on wormer at the same time on cattle?

Thanks. Actually, I was expecting to get chastised for telling them that. :banana:Bright Raven":3nntg4cx said:Jeanne - Simme Valley":3nntg4cx said:Actually, yes you can use both.

I just used both this week on my friend's herd.
You are correct.

We don't use it for fly control unless late in the summer the flies are bad and usually its on the bulls when we put them back in their pasture on their off season. We use it in the spring to worm because that's when flies are bad, thus, you kill 2 birds with one stone. It wouldn't make sense to use it in the fall because there are no flies, but if you worm twice a year, why not use it when flies are bad?Lucky_P":3c28dfth said:While I'm an ardent proponent that any $ spent on hornfly control will return far greater returns than the same $ spent on internal parasite control for cattle... the use of a pour-on anthelminthic for 'fly control' is, IMO, a really poor use of a resource that needs to be conserved.
