    Couple of things to better understand the situation:

    Are the calves on slats or straw bed or something else ?

    Why were the cows not dosed this year ?

    When do you intend selling the calves ?

    well i no were im from its 3thinks to dose round this time of the year with the shed, fluke, worms and lice.

    Il use triclaben for the fluke

    Il use animec pour on for the lice and worns

    I dont no weather i trust a pour on to get all the worns so im not sure if i should use tranazole or albex for a 100% kill and any ideas??

    And i think il try and give a mineral drench this year to all the stock bar the cows i mite give them a bolas
