Vicki is right on! .. as usual ..
Knowing your own herd is the key to healthy maintenance of that herd. Knowing the deficiencies in your soil/vegetations they eat is also just as important. (Some areas have so much iron in the ground water that the grass they eat could even be a detriment. It is an easy thing to hand a clump of grass to your agricultural agent and discover how much iron is in it...not to mention the nutrition value. Giving that herd Red Cell would not be what I would do in such a situation.) The same holds true with selenium!
It does not surprise me that chemicals used for worming animals are being viewed as not working! As Vicki stated above, rotating wormers and doing your own vecal testing would be more helpful than just adding another wormer to the long list used already.
