WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH USING TRIDECTIN?

I first started using it about 2-3 years ago. I wanted another option, to drench stock that I buy onto the property for feedloting and to use on new breeding stock, that may not have seen this drench before. I thought this would be a great option, as i buy young stock in and you never know what they have had done to them. So I just blanket drench all stock that arrive on the property, before they leave the yards.

I try and do the right practices when it comes to livestock. They can return us a lot of money, if you do the right practices and timing it right also, it all pays off. I think its a small price to pay, for the returns you can receive.

It’s mainly used in Spring/Summer. I have been buying extra breeding Ewes in, every September, to build up numbers, so they all get processed before they go out into the paddocks, I usually Drench, vaccinate, footbath and Mulitmin all stock that arrive on the property. I also buy in a lot of extra lambs in November to graze on stubbles until Feb, then they end up in the feedlot to finish off and sell right through to July.

Tridectin seems to be working for me. I have had not issues with it and I think it is a great break drench for me. I have piece of mind, that using Tridectin, I have given them the best start on the property.
