Guest Owen Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I thought I knew most things but I have to confess, I have never heard of either Bull Mites or Crop Mites. What the dickens are they?

pigeonpete Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 ivomec will shift em no problem, and sorry crop mites are de-pluming mites! hardest of the little buggers :-)

Guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 one drop of ivomec on the back of the neck keeps them clear of mites for 6 months
