    And you guys think I'm a chemical junkie!
    I've tried ivomec in the past and figured it was a waste of money. However I wasn't grazing them over the same ground packed like sardines so maybe I never had no worms?
    I don't get all bent out of shape if a cow has a few lice either. If your cows are healthy the lice won't over run them, and besides you only see lice for a couple of months and then they dissappear.
    I often wonder how people think it is just peachy to pour poison on their cattle or pump them full of hormones, but will go ballistic if you say spray out those darned weeds? Does this sound a wee bit hypocritical?

      Cowman what would you feel safer getting poured on you ivomec or your weed killer lol. They use ivermectin on people for crying out loud lol. P.S.I don't use much of it myself either.

            I should have stated that $535.00 was for 20L, a substantial savings

                I was told they used a form of it in third world countries to basically worm refugees in camps and such-Spotton was always the pour on that gave me the creeps.

                  While helping the neighbor do his cows, in the fall, a few years ago he gave himself a full dose down the back(he had one of those back pack deals on). We didn't know how this might go over as he had tossed the box it came in! After a few minutes he said it was getting pretty warm so we sloshed him off at the water tank. He said later he sure seemed to do well that winter, so maybe it is a good idea!
                  Actually the chemical weed sprays I use are all pretty "human friendly". The two main ones, Tordon 22K and Roundup weather max, are about as safe as it gets! The chem reps actually claim you could drink Tordon and it would have all passed out of your body within 72 hours...not that I would consider trying it! Roundup Transorb is used in chemo therapy!
                  My nephew has this weed patch that we sprayed out with Weathermax about three weeks ago and he worked it over on Friday. Of course now it is all puddles and mud but we intend to broadcast seed it to perrenial rye as soon as the ground starts to freeze up. Hopefully we won't get a warm spell where it tries to germinate this fall. Give it a good shot of Prestige in the spring and hopefully it might grow something besides sow thistle and hemp nettle! Only about 10 acres.

                    Ivermectin US $90 5 liter jugs pour on

                    Ivomec Canada $ 440

                    this right out of the supply stores
                    Both my vets and Co-op whined about me buying American

                    Ivomec sold at co-op $440 ..made in USA

                    what is their problem ? both said they were selling at cost,well something really smells and I expect they are missing their kickbacks which they forgot to mention

                    Oh did I mention the Vet telling me it isn't quaranteed, I'm laughing all the way to the bank

                    It's easy to get across,delcare its for your own use and pay the GST
                    I'm running a pool on how long our Vet associations take to shut this off
