PARASITE CONTROL—These sparkling, clear, frosty mornings reminded me that November 1 is just one week away. And the first of November is the shut off date for using one of the several effective “pour on” spray treatments for grub and lice control on beef cattle. Cattle are sleek and healthy looking now with no sign of grubs or lice. But come late winter the ox warble will surface along the cow’s back and as the weather becomes colder the lice fertility rate increases until they peak out in population in February and March. Good cattlemen will want to eliminate these extra boarders now. Parasite-free cattle are thriftier and more efficient. This means more profit.
Weaned replacement heifer calves and stocker feeders that are going to be wintered on the farm should be checked for worms. If needed, they should be wormed before winter feeding time commences. Many of our cattlemen make this routine procedure. You may want to try one of the newer methods of worming, such as vaccinating, instead of the oral drendh. Caution—do not treat calves for external or internal parasites until they are over the stress of weaning. Be sure to follow label instructions concerning the use of the oral drenches in conjunction with other medications or external parasite control measures.
