Pour on wormer

[GLZ]

Which pour on wormer do you use?  Also what are your thoughts on generic pour on wormer. 

Looking at the prices in the local farm store this evening.  The generics are 1/4th of the price, and pretty hard to pass up.

We usually dont use the generic...we use dectomax, but due to this WONDERFUL ;D economy we have we are using the generic brand this year...Ivomectin...and yes it is a heck of alot cheaper...200$ verses 45$...i think...dont hold me to it but there is a HUGE difference.

Funny this topic should be posted as I was speaking with numerous vets in our area, and they reported that after fecal testing, the majority of the cattle tested had a count of over 24,000 parasitic units per fecal sample after using a pour on type wormer.  Previous testing apparently showed less than 2,000 units per fecal sample.  I decided to switch it up this go around and give em the old oral treatment.

I can understand that.  Injectable being more acuurate than pour on when it comes to parasites inside them, but not just the regular mites, and nasty grub that cause them to loose their hair.  In the fall we use injectable womer and pour on in the spring.  I dont know why my dad does it that way, but we do.

Ivomec has taken a real price drop here, we can now get 5L for $169.00. I think it has to do with shorter patent laws and our higher dollar.

We use Ivormectin. It has worked well for the most part, sometime we pour our show steers twice to prevent worms further.
