[QUOTE="BryanM, post: 1217676, member: 6828"] wow, I didn't mean to cause a (to be nice a measuring contest). The reason for the post was for me and possibly other people to pick up some ideas on what is normal practice or at least a few ideas that I may pic up on to make my Hobby herd a little more successful! Let me tell you my practice, remember I have a small enough herd and all have been handled so they are use to human interaction. I like to pen my expectant mothers in a pen where I can observe and get hands on if I need to. (For the record, I messed up where I believe I missed signs on 2 heifers that they where going to calve a bit early and I believe it cost me 2 calves. One of the reason for this post). After the calves are born this is my vets protocol: inforce 3 intranasal, cattle master gold, naval tincture of iodine, multimin 1cc per#40, slow release bollettes and st-bac implant. He wants that done at birth, although I break it up a bit. I understand that too a lot of you and to my friends who own cattle, this may be a costly and a bit over the top and maybe unneccasary, but I have talked to a few well known cattlemen in or community who follow this protocol and swear by it.
