[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 102102, member: 1947"] I like to rotate my wormers on my cattle just like the horses but I'll be the first to admit that I'll usually just worm only once a year and in the early spring with Cydectin. Not the best management practice in the world as I know internal parasites can cause a loss in weight gain. Whenever I've used Ivomec I have used it after at least the second hard freeze. Something to consider is your winters compared to mine. After I've used Ivomec I'm always sure to use the harrow on the fields before the grass comes on. So in short I'll say it's like every 2-3 years that I'll use Ivomec and I've never had a loss of dung bettles in the spring. All my neighbors run cattle as well and I don't really know their worming practices but if they don't worm at all it will help out the dung beetle population on my farm. Lots of folks out there who still don't believe in worming every year silly as it sounds. J [/QUOTE]
