[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1829832, member: 42820"] thanks for reply. They have been on grass all year but just pasture grass and no special type grass. Mostly Bermuda grass. The only reason for my concern is about 4 years ago I had bought a Black Angus bull and the guy said he had all shots needed. This was my first dealing with this guy and I accepted the fact he had his shots, and don't get me wrong, he may have given him shots but what kind I don't know??
