[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 79012, member: 968"] I also think it sounds like grubs. I would be a little wary of treating with a grubacide. First, they have already done their damage to the animal. Second, grubs should only be killed in the first stage of migration, otherwise it is possible to kill the beefer with the treatment. You should never use a grub treatment any other time of the year, except after heelfly season, UNLESS, you have already treated at the proper time. Around here, we degrub/worm in October up to Nov 10. I can treat anytime after that, as long as I know they were degrubbed in the fall. When we lived in Kansas, we used to "pop" them out. Since that time, I have read that it wasn't wise to do that because they cause a toxin. Hmm, never seemed to bother our cows in Kansas. [/QUOTE]
