Beef cattle producers deal with parasite infestations in cattle that can cause the herd to be unhealthy and not producing to their potential. Many producers in Boone County use the same dewormer each time they deworm cattle.

An educational program was planned and conducted to aid cattle producers in learning properly when to deworm, how to deworm, and the importance of switching up dewormers to efficiently control parasites in their herds.

Cattle producers agreed that controlling parasites is an important part of any herd health plan and that they would look at switching up the type of dewormer used with the herd.
