[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 792554, member: 7509"] Allforage, I will jump in to your can of worms also because I have sea kelp out in a mineral feeder also. They don't touch it very much (which is good because of the price!) but I figured what the heck. I had an unused rubber flap covered round gound feeder.... On lice I will have to disagree - mine are never in a building nor bedded. They winter in the woods. I see many of them rubbing on trees by spring time with lice. Yes they do grow a heavy winter Hereford coat but that is what they are supposed to do. I am open to other suggestions for natural control of lice but so far the winter pour seems most effective. My vet measures and adjusts the amount applied very carefully based on the weight of the animal. Vacinations to me also are a no-brainer. We vacinate our kids so why not our cattle??? Animals being harvested in late April just had their last shots and pour. My vet assures me all traces of the pour on will be gone long before then. Mine get no antibiotics because they dont need them. If they needed then I would use them but sell them in other markets. Still looking for other suggestions for winter lice... Jim [/QUOTE]
