I noticed with this extremely mild winter we are having that some cows were scratching on the fence. Wean wean pretty early and that's when they are poured so it's getting on to 4 1/2 months. We moved a couple of Roll oil cattle oilers out with some Malathion mix in them. They are right at the mineral tubs so I hope they use them rather then the fences.
Yeah, the weaner calves were scratching so I got an Old Scratch oiler we used o use and put it out there with some dope in it. Seems like they are leaving the fences alone so it's working but I am going to have to get them and the cows in one of these day's and spray them with Ivomec. Would like to switch to something else, but hate the higher price.
JB, lice are fairly easy to kill. However, to really kill lice you need to pour
them twice about 14 days apart. I don't know anyone that likes to do this,
however, and most times we seem to get by without an outbreak
after pouring once. There are the times when we do see enough lice
that they need poured again. If you do pour them
for lice, you can use an inexpensive product like Cylence which has a real good
applicator. There are a lot of products out there that will kill lice.
Hope this helps!
