Best tick treatment for cattle?

What’s the options here? I bought some dysect for cattle, knowing that the dysect for sheep is pretty good on ticks, but there’s not a mention of tick control on it!?

Bull has a fair covering, only went out on Monday!

May not be licensed for tick but still be effective. I've asked about Spot On before. Doesn't mention tick control on packaging, but apparently works on tick.

I've used cattle Dysect before, and that must have been for tick, as it's not a product I'd have used for anything else. So that must have been on vet recommendation.

Aye I bought the dysect for the calves as they were going through the crush, surely it’ll do the job. Got a char bull on the place too and he was treated with spot on, although he is running on cleaner ground, there’s not a tick on him, and it has been a bad year for tick, plenty on the lambs that came off the same ground as him. I’ve got spot on here so Luing will get a dose of that.
