#1- Forget Ivermectin all together for sheep as far as barber pole goes.
#2- I had lousy luck with Cydectin.
#3- I had much better luck with Valbazen and am now using Levamisole.
#4- Don't believe the hoopla about Katahdin and Dorpers or any of the hair breeds being "worm resistant". SOME lines/animals appear to have a heightened resistance but by no means are all hair breeds any more resistant than wool breeds.
#5- AC vinegar might help, so can copper boluses, so can diatamaceous earth (sp), garlic, pumpkin seed and a host of other "home remedies". The best cure is an effective wormer and a clean pasture with a rotation program. Even then you have brain worms, liver flukes, white muscle, mineral deficiencies, etc. to contend with.
