[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1732954, member: 12607"] What JKCattle said, above! Take it to heart! I haven't dewormed - or recommended deworming - an adult cow in over 20 years...unless you're in a liver fluke area. Sure, there's some benefit to deworming growing calves, and probably also bred and nursing first-calf heifers. But adult cows don't - and shouldn't - need deworming once or twice a year, every year. I haven't seen a case of Ostertagiasis in an adult cow since some time back in the early 1990s; the macrocyclic lactone (Ivermectin, etc.) class of dewormers have done a fantastic job of almost pushing that very impactful parasite almost into extinction on most premises.
