Have you dewormed your horse and/or cattle yet this spring?

The most common parasites of adult horses cause very little stress on the nutritional status of a horse. Just because a horse looks good from the outside, it does not mean it should not be checked for internal parasites—as a matter of fact, it is not uncommon for the horse with the best coat and highest body condition score in the herd to also have the highest F***l Egg Count (FEC)! This is the same for cattle as well!

If your horse or cattle have access to pasture, you should assume the animal is exposed to parasites. This spring, stop by or give us a call, we would love to chat with you about setting up a deworming schedule tailored to your animals situation. Most plans include at least 1-2 dewormer treatments per year and FEC examinations to monitor treatment efficacy and parasite egg shedding status of individual horses. We can also do FEC on cattle!

Is that pour on ivermectin still working? Drop off some f***l samples and we would be happy to test them in house. We only need 2 tablespoons to run a f***l. If your cattle are still full of parasites, their feed efficiency will not be great. A good deworming program can add pounds of gain on your calves, and with current cattle prices, every pound matters!

We will be closed Monday May 20th. Emergency services are still available. Have a fun and safe May long!
