    What do people on here find the best treatment for lice in cattle ? Starting to get a lot of licking and scratching here and I'd like to keep on top of it before it gets to bad

    Most important is to clip them first, have found this out the hard way, after that there's a good choice of products. Found youngs pour on effective

    We found that with clipping the effectiveness of even the cheaper products is dramatically improved.
