[QUOTE="Bez, post: 44795, member: 412"] Sounds to me like you need to get another type of pour on - one from a company that will support you. Seems to me - if you are at least pertially set up for this - you could run a couple of your own test groups. Cut out a small representative sample of your main herd and put them in another area of your establishment for a year. Keep doing the same thing with your main herd, and cut the test group dosage in half / quarter - or what ever you think you might want to try. Keep a close watch and see if there is any noticeable difference - then compare the cost savings and so on. You might be very surprized at the results - conversely you might be disappointed - nothing ventured nothing gained. You may be in a situation where the only help you get is what you make for yourself! If one of my suppliers gave me the run a round with a "do not want to commit" answer - I'd be looking for a replacement. Be that as it may you could even volunteer some of your animals for a field test. Had a neighbour who did that a few years ago for some type of "preventative". They had a veterinarian come out to the ranch and work with that specific group of cattle for a year - about 20 head if memory serves me correctly. The drug company paid the veterinarian bills. My neighbour and the veterinarian kept a complete set of records and such - I believe it was done as a field test on a parasite / de-worm drug. Just my humble thoughts Bez [/QUOTE]
