Our vet does the pour on dewormer for all of our cattle once a year.(angus). I prefer to use Ivomec injectable just because I know when I give the shot the cow/calf is getting the medicine. I wonder how much of the pour on actually gets absorbed. We also had a family friend that swore by feeding pumpkins to cattle as a dewormer. Good luck!

I agree.
One of my vets told me that for tapes the dosage is different. If using safeguard the effective dosage was 9cc per 100 lbs.
You should check with your vet though for all dosage recommendations. Your vet will be more familiar for what to use and best dosage for your region.
We have lots of lizards, skinks, frogs and toads... which means we have tapes. :confused:
