[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 792592, member: 14878"] redcow, That was my point all along. That the middle ground is judicious limited use. You articulated that very well. I simply stated what I have done and was not trying to "convert" people to organic type cattle managment. The purpose of my first post was to show there is a different way than the norm. If a continual health issue comes up, question why it is there and examine all aspects to find the source. If something can be done differently then change it. Like the pond example. If drinking and wading in ponds is causing worm infestations then pump them to a tank. If an issue persists then absolutely use medications. A lot of times as stockmen we refuse to open up to the fact we could do things a little differently. As little bit of lice is natural most likely. As long as it isn't horrific then let it run its course. Sheep are a great example of being able to select towards worm resistance. Takes a long time, but it can be done. I never want to sound as if I am judging, just think it is healthy to be able to explain why I am doing it. Whether anyone likes it or not the profitable market is and will be cattle raised with little meds. [/QUOTE]
