On the cost issue, it is more expensive than other alternatives.  You are 
making the assumpsion that I would use ivermectin in place of Quest, which 
is not completely the case.  I rotate, so Quest would take the place of 
ivermectin and something like Anthelcide.  Quest costs me $14, ivermectin is 
$9 and Anthelcide is >$4. And then if you talk about combining with Strongid 
($6/tube), it is very expensive.
