Since I have too many catttle and too little help, I try to get mine wormed with Safeguard cubes. Last time I used them I poured waffle syrup over the cubes in the feeders to get them to eat them all. It worked. Within a day they were gone. With the drought, my beardless triticale is not worth cutting, so I turned the ccows in on it. I had noticed many of them scratching their bellies, so I figured they needed worming since it had been over a year since the last ivomec. I got the proper number of bags (over $300 worth now) and 3 1/2 jugs of waffle syrup. Then when ready I called them over with a bucket and watched as a very few licked the cubes and turned around. One pain in the ass cow I have that has only riased 4 calves in 8 years ( one of my wife's pasture ornaments because she is a pretty cow ) seems to lead the bunch many times. Just licked on the cubes then walked over to a bare spot and started pawing the dirt! Cubes have been out there 2 days now and they have not been touched., Looks like I threw away $300+. do you have to starve them to it.
