What is everybody using as their wormer and are you having success?

We used Eprinex today until it ran out and finished with Cydectin.  (What ever is a good deal at the time)
Both are Ivermectin pour ons.
They work good for us.

We rotate wormers,  to try to avoid any increase in resistance.  Ivermectin is our basic.  Pour-ons are the easiest, as long as you have nice clean cattle.    Years ago we used the oral paste, but old cows learned to hold it, then spit it out when I wasn't looking.   We had also tried injectables, but they were too hot.   We get good results with the pour-ons.

I've been using Cydectin Pour-on too, but I've been thinking it is time to change out to something else, to avoid resistance.  I've been thinking of trying out the Safe-Guard worming blocks, sold here at TSC.  One reason I'm thinking of the worming blocks is because I have one cow and calf pair that refuse to go into my catch pen, for any reason.

We tried the wormer blocks last year with no apparent results.  One problem was that some cows liked it and pigged out on it, while others hated it and wouldn't touch it.  We had no good way to accurately dose.
