Is Safe guard pellet wormer any good

Is the safe guard pellet wormer worth using

In my opinion they are overpriced and you have no way of knowing that each cow is getting the appropriate dose (which could lead to some parasites developing resistance.) I would go with a pour on or an injectable.
Many others know more than me though.

Was gonna give it to a bull that's separated so I don't have to catch his big butt and bring him to the chute.

They work great. Certainly more effective than pour on. In a case like you have with a single animal is where they are really worth while.

I think that would be ok if he is by himself and you can insure he eats the full dose.

Safeguard actually works very well. I've used it in a the drench form, pellets and the molasses blocks. The drench is less expensive and cost about the same as pour-ons and injectables but if you're not careful with it they will sling a lot of it out of their mouth.
