Too often, convenience drives deworming programs. But the timing of deworming is very important, depending on your goals: fly and lice control for cattle comfort, pasture re-contamination or hedging against production losses. Other considerations include the season of the year, type of grazing program(s) practiced, age of the cattle and the overall management of the operation.

Doing a fecal egg-count reduction test at least once a year will tell you not only which parasites you're dealing with, but also if they're not responding to your current program.
