[QUOTE="bovine, post: 3337970, member: 12486"] If you are using a wormer every 6 weeks then they will very soon [I][B]when [/B][/I]you develop resistance. Good research showing targeted selective treatment maintains growth and vastly reduces need to worm (worm based on faecal egg counts). You may own more cattle than me, but I am responsible for the parasite management for many thousands and none of them use a wormer every 6 weeks. Some of the guys who use us once a year for emergencies may be doing like you, I have no idea. You are the perfect example of why these medicines need to be prescription only. Look at the mess sheep farmers and SQPs have created with sheep worm resistance. Cattle worms will follow if you use drugs like you are. I expect you not to listen to me and carry on in your misguided way. [/QUOTE]
