After much deliberation over what wormer to use, what needles to use, etc,etc, we just wormed our 3 OSBs, using the slap shot, in seconds! As my OH said" that might be the most expensive piece of tubing we ever brought but boy is it worth it"! :thumbsup:

To add to this thread ... I'm just purchasing a Slap Shot, the first job is to worm all pigs.  Most of ours are 5 months so I'll use a 1/2" needle as recommended here but what size should I use for a 12 month old gilt?
