[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 687672, member: 9169"] I saw a bottle of concentrate at Orscheln's today that was labeled to be mixed with water or diesel. Can't recall the brand. I think in days gone by, farmers used just the diesel because it was cheap and it worked pretty well on its own. So when the chemicals came along they were labeled for the diesel mixture partly for market acceptance. But diesel isn't so cheap anymore, and if using a rub the cattle will re-apply the insecticide daily anyway so the "staying power" of the diesel wouldn't matter. IMHO, it's a practice of the past, like feeding a plug of chewing tobacco for worming or making your kids take cod liver oil. [/QUOTE]
