Why ranchers switch

Healthier cattle. Fewer chores.

Parasites cost gains and comfort. An oiler goes to work every time the cattle rub, with no gathering, no chute and no extra trips.

How it works

A cattle oiler in three steps

  1. Set it up

    Your Lewis dealer helps you pick the right oiler and spot for your herd and pasture.

  2. Cattle rub

    Animals rub against the oiler on their own, the way they naturally scratch and swat.

  3. Treatment applies

    Product is applied to the coat with each visit, for continuous year-round control.
