[QUOTE="Dempster, post: 1647658, member: 32761"] I don't think at these cattle prices it is cost effective to give to mature cows, and it has never been a cost effective method of fly control. It will often reduce fly populations, but on it's own will generally not be enough when there is heavy fly pressure. Using it in the calves could be reasonable in some specific situations. The cows will provide a degree of refugia to reduce severity of resistance. Southern states with longer parasite seasons will run more risk of resistance. You can expect roughly 70-100 days of effect from the drug. There are likely to be other extended release products on the market sooner than later, will be interesting to see what that does to the cost of Long Range. [/QUOTE]
