    Just looking for advice please, I am shifting some heifers that have been out on grass for 2 weeks to a different field - is it too soon for me to dose them with Ivomec - reason I ask is i will have to put them in a pen before I shift them so it'd be handy, but if there's no benefit in doing it this soon I won't bother.

    Thanks

    We're doing some today so I don't see why not. Just remember that neither ivomec does immature fluke.

    It is a little soon after two weeks that will have picked up little or no worms. Most pastures should still be fairly clean generally would wait 6+ weeks before dosing.
