I had a hard time worming one of my mules. One day the farrier showed me a little trick.
Before, I would always try to hold the head low so I could reach his mouth. Of course, he would throw his head up when the tube got close to his mouth.
The farrier told me to stand beside him. His neck to my shoulder. With my free arm I would hold his head up as high as I could and put the tube in. He would raise up his head, as usual, but he couldn't go any higher. He never thinks to lower his head to get away from me. It works every time.
I never thought to put the wormer in feed before. Sounds like it works for you.
