[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 51671, member: 430"] We use Ivomec Plus. What time of year do you all worm if only once per year? We were worming every 6 mts but the vet said that once a year would be sufficent. He said eiter in the fall or spring would be fine, I just want to see what ya'll think. I found a good deal on Ivomec plus at xsag.com $292.20 for 1000 mL, free shipping. Also in the southern livestock standard I saw an ad for 500 mL for $175, free delivery. Looked to be one of those trucks that comes to your ranch. I have never paid the vet to do any vacinations except bangs. It is really easy to do vacinations, my grandpa showed me how and I have been doing it every since. Once you get the hang of it, it is really simple. Cattle feel pain but they don't hang on to pain like humans do. If you have your technique down and use a good sharp needle that is the right guage and lenght then there is little resistance form them. They are more interested in getting out of the squeese and to the feed trough then worrying about the vaccinations. We have a system set up, my husband runs the squeese and I run the shots. My brother in law gets the cattle in the chute. We have a feed trough set up and when we get done the cattle get a treat. I think it helps them keep their mind on the prize. We get it all done quickly and a lot cheeper then having the vet out. [/QUOTE]
