[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1684477, member: 40072"] I have found that more cattle on a smaller area for less time will do wonders to control the effects of worms. I use a 35-45 day rotation usually with 2-5 days in a section or area. About 20 years ago I stopped the worming ritual and started culling anything that did not maintain condition with the ration supplied.( [I]I do not abuse my stock)[/I] We try to calve in April for 45 days, wean in Oct or Nov and market in March the following spring. The steers will run 850-925 with heifers proportional. I like to creep feed the calves about 30 days before weaning so they will go to the bunk when they are brought into the yard. I tell you this as I did not want someone to think that I had stopped worming and left the cattle in the same pasture all summer. If you run grassgrubber cows then by all means worm them! [/QUOTE]
