[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 974114, member: 17767"] I use a feeding syringe. I got two sizes because calves only require a small amount of wormer compared to a cow. The 20 and 50 ml sizes are about right to cover the entire range. I have a squeeze chute and use a halter to tie the cows head up. It helps for vaccination also if you have a cow that throws her head. With calves, I adjust the head gate door to a small enough opening that they cannot pull their head out. Put a 2x4 behind their butt so they are restrained toward the front of the chute. Walk to the front of the chute, grab the inside of their cheek and stick the syringe down into their mouth and inject. It works well. But I think you said that you don't have a squeeze chute but if you have a head gate, you can still use this technique. Here is the feeding syringe.
