Cattle dipping schedule for the lowveld

Ticks are brutal in Limpopo. We dip every 14 days in summer (October to March) and every 28 days in winter. Use a registered pour-on like Triatix. Don't skip winter dips — one bout of redwater from a single tick can kill a R20,000 cow. I set recurring tasks on the app so I never forget. The R15 per head per dip is cheap insurance.
