[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 73107, member: 1049"] With all the talk of lice, I wasn't taking any chances. Used CORRALL powder on Saturday and didn't have a problem with it except the wind came up just as we were finishing and I ended up in a thick white cloud of dust for a few choking moments. After I shook the powder out on the cows I gently rubbed it in to minimize the "snow effect." ( remember to wear gloves ) It was kind of nice seeing a herd of mock Randall Linebackers...... Didn't even run them up the chute. I laid down a long line of grain ( a few times ) and called them up and while they ate it I went along each one and lined them with the powder and rubbed it in. Also checked their body for lice and their ears for lice eggs. Sure saved alot of chute time & stress as these cows are so calf heavy it would of been a too tight squeeze for most of them in the chute. We are looking into using a dust bag that will hang at the entrance to the loafing barn, that they come into, to get salt. Anyone know who sells one to save me some time on this computer ? Got 9 inches of snow to contend with and more coming down. [/QUOTE]
