Whether you’re a large cattleman or a small producer just getting in the business, the dewormer talk is a good one to have with your veterinarian. Some lower cost products that used to work well aren’t as effective these days. "It’s cost-effective to have a surveillance program in place, so the producer and the veterinarian can devise a parasite-control program," Kirkman said. "In addition to reduced weight gains and lost income, parasite infections can have serious health effects for cattle."
