Don Bare milks 60 registered Holsteins at Double
Springs Farm in Lancaster, and worms each one with
TBZ before she freshens
“High producers need worming as much, or
more than, average cows,” says Don Bare.
“A cow that’s capable of doing 80 to 100
pounds a day after freshening is going to be
under an awful lot of stress. And if she’s
stressed by worms, too, there’s not much
chance she’ll give you that kind of
production.
“We proved it on our milking line. We
didn’t know what some of our cows could
really do until we began worming
with TBZ®before they freshr xl.”
“Our first-calf heifers were
coining in from 14,000 to
16,000 lb before we began
worming. Now many

of our heifers arc doing 18,000 and up.
People arc amazed when we tell them how
much they milk. Worming doesn’t do it all,
of course, but we’re sure it helps.”
“TBZ...simple program”
“TBZ gives us the simplest worming
program on the market. We worm just one
time per lactation - before freshening. We
just put pellets with TBZ in front of them,
on the grain, and they cat it right up.
“All in all, TBZ has proved really
profitable.
“Our records show it pays off.”
Your dealer, feed supplier,
and veterinarian have TBZ in
a feed or dosage form that fits
your management. Start your
prefreshening worming
program with TBZ
