Surprised to see the almost equal numbers regarding deworming protocol. I would have thought vets more favorable by a larger margin toward injectables deworming.

Type of de-worming product most highly recommended for the female herd:
Injectable 56%
Pour on 50%

Chemical de-worming creates strong worms and weak cows. Problem gets worse and more expensive over time. Genetics-genetics-genetics!

Are you saying to not deworm?

One thing that caught my attention was the years in large animal. I wonder why it falls so low at around 20 but there is several at 5 and over 30 years? The old vets like what they do I guess. The young vets are helping the old vets or have found work in feedlots, etc.?

More great advice based on your vast knowledge and experience.

Are you saying to not deworm?

Yes. here is what many successful producers do.
Don't de-worm as a matter of protocol
When an animal shows signs of infestation, isolate it and treat until the worms are gone, then sell cow and calf.
Select replacement heifers from cows that don't get heavy infestations
Select bulls from parents that have high tolerance for parasites.
This is difficult and will take some serious investigation. Expect to be lied to.

CG- While I agree some cows seem to fair better than others with parasites your ignorance is hanging out again and you should put it away , every part of this country is different and while some may profess this others successful ones do not. Your advise is unsubstantiated because your just regurgitating something you read. 99.9% of the people here give advise based on experience right or wrong they have skin in the game. no one is saying you cant comment but no one takes what you say serious because you honestly do not know ....

your way would require me to sell my cows , tractors, truck , land and move to the city to become an expert ... No thank you.

 

[City Guy]

That's what I figured.

 

[True Grit Farms]

I'm not culling a cow because it's more susceptible to worms. Growing a heifer calf to a cow cost money. Between culling and calving problems as a heifer, and then she's required to produce a good calf while breeding back on time, I'll spend the money on wormer if she makes it through all those obstacles.

All you old timers should listen to City Guy there is a lot of cows out there that will not get worms or any parasites they are cheaper to buy and ours never even get sick. I still have a few that belong to my son, they are close to 20 years old and still just as good today as they were 20 years ago. here is a picture of a pair that I might would sell if the price is right also have some horses and a mule that never get sick or needs wormed might even sell them also. open to offers - no low balling.
