worming Brahman cattle

[BRYANT]

Is there some kinds of wormer that you can not use on Brahman cattle?
Seems I heard that some place but don't know where ??

Yeah, well, you can hear a lot of things, and see a lot of stuff on the Internet... but that doesn't make it true.
None of the dewormers that are on the market today are contraindicated for use in Brahman/Zebu cattle, as far as I'm aware.

Probably some of the older pour-on stuff (organophosphates, etc.) for warbles, etc. was not recommended for Brahman-influenced cattle - or they were more sensitive to it, etc.

Used to be back in the sixties as I killed a high dollar Gert bull of my uncles. I know of none today that doesn't mean I don't read the label on something new. Ivomec won't hurt them or I would have a pasture of dead ones.

There was a thread a couple/few months ago. Looks to be more of an insecticide rather than a wormer.

This same thread popped up awhile back and brangus cowgirl had the answer. I don't think it was a very common wormer.
