[QUOTE="simme, post: 1672430, member: 40418"] You will find lots of opinions. Probably only need to deworm young cattle and young cows. Older cattle probably not needed yearly. I would not stay in a constant rotation of dewormers. Most people say that pour-ons are to be avoided. That they don't work. But that is what I use and they work for me in my location based on fecal exams on my cattle with my vet. Be concerned about building resistant worms in the cattle and pastures. Deworm only when needed - generally young cattle. Use fecals to establish the need in your area. Don't just deworm every cow twice a year. That is sort of like treating all animals periodically with an antibiotic to ensure they don't get sick. Fecals that show a certain level of worms is the key for when and which animals to deworm. A few worms in older cattle is to be expected and will help keep the resistant worms from becoming dominant. You might need to think about liver flukes in your area as well. Any opinion I offer is just my opinion for consideration. I am no expert. If you search the board, there is a lot of discussion on deworming. [/QUOTE]
