    We dose six weeks after housing as this affords the best winter control of worms.
    Bullocks got one pour on for worms so far and will maybe get one more. Maybe if wet weather persists they'll get done for hoose.

    Our vet would recommend minimal dosing regeims, and says wait till signs of worms are seen before dosing.

    I generally dose them before putting them out on aftergrass and about 6 weeks after housing.

    whenever they need it. calves here have been dosed twice and some 3 times this year. 18mths the same, cows got 1 worm dose that should see them out till after housing. it'll be a fluke dose then.
