too many ticks on milk cow udder

Don't worry about it. I should have made it clear in the second post that I was referring to IVOMEC-EPRINEX, but I assumed that readers would refer back to my first post. It just goes to show that I shouldn't take things for granted. All is well that ends well, as far as I am concerned.

Thank you all for the information. Now I have to decide which to try first....

I grew up in the Virgin Islands and ticks are THICK down there. Big clumps of them under your horse's tails, between their thighs, groin creases, manes, tails, and sometiems their ears would be bent down with them. We smeared vaseline over them and they would suffocate and die off and you could just scrape them off easily several days later. I don't have a cow, and never have had one, but I wish I did. Anyhow, I think a generous dab of Vaseline on the ticks will kill them off and not affect the milk and still be organic and non-toxic. Good luck with your cow. I wish I had one.

Try a couple drops of Young Living's peppermint essential oil applied directly to her udder. Works to repel ticks from dogs!
