Ivomec is good, you can use that as a pour on or as an injection. Dectomax is a pour on and works great so does Cydectin. Hope that helps.

Do about a 50 / 50 mix of those two. The bucks get a little more, and not as much for the wethers, because alot of grain can cause stones for them. Nursing does get about the same as the other does and bucks. Hope this helps, Jeff Hello,
