winter definitely need to be dewormed in November. There is some debate relative to whether cows should be dewormed but many producers consider it a paying prop* osition. Certainly young cows and replacement heifers and stocker steers and heifers should be dewormed.
Pick the deworming material that suits you best, remembering that the main worm you need to control is the brown stomach worm. If you want to be sure that you get the inhibited or sleeping brown stomach worm that may emerge in mid- to late winter if not controlled, use Ivomec or a double dose of Safeguard or Panacur.
Start winter feeding
Cattle producers are often tempted as fall pasture declines and winter approaches to leave cattle on pastures with no supplementary feed too long. Often cattle in this situation lose condition rapidly and get behind before winter starts. Be sure you start your hay feeding program on cows and other cattle before the pasture really runs out.
Cattle of varying age groups and stages of production should be separated and fed separately so that they can get the nutrition they need. The biggest problem we have with getting wet, first-calf heifers bred back is that we too often run them with the mature cow herd and they don’t get the groceries they need. Be sure you know what cattle in each age .and production group need in the way of nutrition and be sure they get it.
