Control of Parasites in Cattle in Houston County
Houston County extension agents report parasite control in cattle is essential this winter. Lice, grub, and stomach worm damage can be reduced with inexpensive treatments costing about ten cents per head. DDT sprays control lice, rotenone addresses grubs, and phenothiazene drench treats stomach worms. December to February timing varies by region, with multiple applications for grub control as larvae appear. 4-H records show Houston County members like Euden Rice and Jackie Hagler earning honors, including out of state trips.
