I have a working pen/shoot and head gate that I use when 'working' the cattle at regular intervals. What I'm interested in is intra-muscular injection, for meds, when I only have one that needs it. I thought this method of medicating would be less work for me, less stress on the cattle, if I could medicate without having to try singling one out from the herd and move to the squeeze.
I know the cost per shot is more, so I would never use it as my preferred method. But I've had times when it would be better to be able to offer a dose without dealing with the entire herd, or moving that herd (for one cow), to give meds.
I appreciate all the comments
