[QUOTE="ValleyView, post: 1617959, member: 38499"] Wind and rain (Medicated) with CTC’s requires a VFD or Veterinary Feed Directive aka prescription. Not sure if this unique to Oklahoma or the entire USA. I fed it all last year until my prescription ran out and saw far fewer ticks as well as flies this year opposed to last. When the flies got real bad late summer I did need to spray with peremthrin 10 and hydraulic oil a few times. Never had a case of pink eye which was rampant in my neck of the woods last year due to abundant moisture. In previous years, ticks absolutely hammered my cows particularly their ears which lead to me implementing the Anaplas vaccine. However, my vet won’t vaccinate for anaplas if the cows are less than 2yrs. Since anaplas vac requires 2 shots 6 weeks apart and a booster thereafter yearly I am happy to just continue to feed medicated mineral instead of repeated gathering and working other than fall and spring works as necessary. Especially since Medicated Wind and Rain doesn’t have a withdraw period. Don’t love the idea of feeding it all summer but is a necessary evil in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
