WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings
Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.
Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species.
When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season.
Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios.
Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program.
TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.
STORAGE Store at 77° F (25° C) with excursions between 59° and 86° F (15° and 30° C). Protect from light.

S OF THIS WRITING WE ARE NEAR THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR. TSCRA WILL end the year with approximately 16,260 members.
Even though it was a challenging year as members dealt with reduced
herd sizes from drought sales, I am proud to report that TSCRA member- ship grew for the sixth straight year. In the last 5 years TSCRA member- ship has grown by 8 percent. I would like to congratulate the Regional Association Promotion (RAP)
team leaders and the Association Promotion Committee members on this accomplishment. I’d also like to recognize the RAP team leaders for doing a fantastic job in 2013. If you cross paths with them, please thank them for their efforts. Region 1: Blake Birdwell Region 2: Brian McLaughlin and Chad Halfmann Region 3: Bobby Jones and Les Nunn Region 4: Lee Burton Region 5: Claudia Wright Region 6: Darren Nelson
“Herd” management As ranchers we all have a plan for managing our herd. A key part of
that plan is growing the herd, either through keeping or adding cattle. The Association Promotion Committee has a similar task in growing
TSCRA membership. We have a plan that discusses how we’re going to grow membership by keeping and adding members. This plan — the TSCRA Membership Marketing Plan — is updated annually by the Regional Association Promotion (RAP) Team. One of our biggest challenges when developing this plan is making
sure TSCRA’s value — the benefi ts members receive — is presented in a way that compels people to take the time to join or renew. The average consumer sees 247 marketing images per day, so making TSCRA stand out from the crowd is a big challenge. What do you think we can do to improve our marketing to members
and non-members? If you send your thoughts to
membership@tscra.org, we’ll make sure the RAP team sees your input. At the end of February we’ll randomly select 5 responses and will give each winner a limited edition TSCRA notebook. Thanks for your help, and please let us know if we can do anything to help increase TSCRA membership.
