[QUOTE="Crofter64, post: 4912308, member: 87060"] I have not wormed my sheep in over 10 years. The cattle ,never. I farm on very fertile bottom land. My neighbours are either dairy farmers or ex- dairy farmers. Either way they all grow corn and beans. I grow grass and I use management intensive grazing from May till November ( basically the non snow months) to harvest it. Moving the cattle every day to fresh grass and the sheep twice a week, following both with chickens I have had few parasite problems. I have never fed grain to my ruminants. Until last summer I had very few health issues- but the spring and summer were wet and cold and my animals suffered. This year is not shaping up too well either. Although I do not worm my animals, I don’t find that the manure disappears as quickly as I think it should unless the chickens tear the pats apart first. [/QUOTE]
