pasture worm management

[HandB]

I am running some pairs on rented ground that I am unable to section off due to its size. I know its best to rotate pastures not only for grass reproduction but also to minimize the risk of contracting worms or disease. Since I can't do it, what sort of practice should I stay on top of to control outbreaks. (frequency, timings......)

Worm twice a year, spring and Fall. I use ivomec plus. :cboy:

Good advice

Thanks, thats what I've been doing already on rotated ground. Just thought I'd have to be more diligent with this new piece.

I agree with twice yearly, in general. But if you suspect that, for some reason, you have a heavy parasite load, or your cattle don't stay in good condition, or look "wormy", you may want to worm 4 times per year (every 3 months or so). Most wormers are effectine for about 30 days.
