[QUOTE="Z&J Cattle, post: 586925, member: 1876"] I have 24 recently purchased heifers averaging 500#. We gave them their first respiratory and blackleg vaccines this week and will follow up with their boosters in a few weeks. My question is concerning worming them. I live in Northern Arkansas and the weather is still very warm (at least at the present), but we have some of the craziest weather around. It could be snowing next week. Anyway, if at all possible I would like to go ahead and worm them when we give them their booster shots, but I don't know if the timing will be right. I have heard to wait until after the first killing frost, which will likely not have taken place by the time we give the other shots. The question that I have is, when is it dangerous to worm them as far as killing the grubs? Does that have something to do with whether or not it has frosted yet? Will it be safe to go ahead and worm them even if we haven't had a killing frost by then? Thanks in advance. Zach [/QUOTE]
