Just one more!!!!

Another one of OSU Shorty's Bubblegum.

Yes, I looked at those and the three tanks have very similar specs. Just wondering why they make three that look the same unless I am missing something. Only major difference is the canister diameter in the xc series which allows more straws. Looks like the xc and sc tanks themselves are the same.

Could someone tell me the difference between the MVE Millineum SC 20 and XC 20 tanks (besides how many straws they hold). Are they the same tanks except for canister diameter? Then I see an MVE SC 20/20 tank but can't see what the diffence is between it and the MVE Millineum SC 20, spec. sheet...

Hello, could you tell me how long it takes for a cow to dry up after you wean her calf, and anything you have to worry about such as mastitis? Thanks

Does anyone know how close you can vaccinate with MLV to the time you are going to AI (such as safe up to a day before, a week before, etc.). and does it matter if they are still nursing? Thanks

Thanks for the responses. The needle and syringe were both new. After the third try I tried pushing the plunger with the needle not in the animal and it squirted with little effort. It was a triangle 9-way and I was going IM (in the neck) per the bottle's label. It was about 25 to 30 degrees...

Hello, I just finished giving the second series of vaccination shots to two calfs. Question I have is that with one of them when I tried to inject the syringe it was very hard to push it down. I tried three times in different spots on the neck including the other side, and all times the same...

Just wondering what Vet Fees are in other parts of the country. Live in a rural/urban area where farm vets are limited and alot are switching over to just doing small animals at the clinic, thus we are charged alittle under fifty dollars (standard fee no matter what is done) for the road trip...
