has anyone used the wormer that is added to minerial ..know safeguard makes 1 as well as couple others. was thinking of trying ,wondered if i'd be wasting my money?
I like injecting too, my son believes cubes work good, but common sense says they all won't get the same.With wormer added to mineral. Some cows may get the correct amount of wormer, some may not get any. Same way with safeguard blocks. Some big cows will hog them while the timid ones stay away.
I like injection wormers so I am sure they are all getting the correct amount.
I give mine a pour-on wormer in the spring & an injection wormer in the fall...I put the safe-guard blocks in a trough with salt blocks (both brown & white) as a supplement...and as others mentioned, not all of them will get at the safe-guard blocks...have had very good results thus far...they love the molasses in those safe-guard deworming blocks...has anyone used the wormer that is added to minerial ..know safeguard makes 1 as well as couple others. was thinking of trying ,wondered if i'd be wasting my money?
I've used them occassionally, I just used one on some feeder heifers I bought that looked wormy, I had them by themselves and weighed the block to see when they consumed as much as they should. They were passing some worms within a day. I left it 3 days as directed and they consumed almost exactly what they should have so I pulled it. I wouldn't expect it to work with a herd as some will be gluttonous and some wouldn't get any. I don't worm all of my cattle, just young ones and fresh bought ones.has anyone used the wormer that is added to minerial ..know safeguard makes 1 as well as couple others. was thinking of trying ,wondered if i'd be wasting my money?
I mix the dewormer bag "measured contents for my allotment of cattle, plus 25% extra" into sweet feed that's sticky, twice a year.... so it's evenly distributed....pour into spacious feeders and watch all the cattle eat it up. Works well. per their weight and body size, mouth size they gobble it up pretty darn well equally plus with 25% overage. Bull at twice the weight is twice as aggressive eating. You don't know the %'s each get, but it's got to be close.I like injecting too, my son believes cubes work good, but common sense says they all won't get the same.
I use to alternate between injectable and drenching.
Cool, i didn't think my cattle needed to be de-wormed, but everyone was applying it twice a year like clockwork. They're all heathy and fat. It'll save me money, that safe-guard is expensive. They get lots of lettuce and cabbage which I read was a natural antibotic for them.And we wonder why they took the antibiotics away from farmers!
