[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1489950, member: 25884"] We routinely use DE in our feed and I mix it in the mineral. We will use a pour on when the cows go through the chute if they are looking a bit thin or poor but do not worm regularly. We do often worm calves after weaning, except now they are on feed that has the DE in it and they are looking pretty good. It's more on an "as needed" basis. Plus, we try to do as much rotational grazing as possible so have maybe less worm problems than some. Lice this time of year is the biggest thing. And we use killed virus vaccines. Calves all get clostridial due to blackleg deaths many years ago, cows get lepto at preg check. We used to do pinkeye, never saw where it did any better than not doing it. We try to keep replacements from cows that are resistant to pinkeye, and have little to no need for worming, have good feet and legs and are long lived in the herd. Our own way of evolution? [/QUOTE]
