[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 80672, member: 968"] If you plan on calling a vet, he will advise about giving the Lut shot or not. If she is not holding her tail out, and is eating well, and was MY cow, I wouldn't think there was a need for the vet. But, yes, I would give her a 2nd shot 10-14 days after the first to clean any infection out. And, when I refer to her having an infection, I am talking a mild one that would not affect her health or vaccination status. If she had a bad infection, she would be showing signs, like not eating, and passing a lot of yellowish puss. The "tomato soup color" is "normal" for some cows. She may have had a harder time calving than you think. They usually don't retain placenta, unless: dystocia, too early, very late, or imbalance of minerals. I have ALWAYS vaccinated the cows prior to breeding and never saw any effect on their reproduction. Sometimes when you work cattle and they were close to cycling - they may come in earlier, but vaccinating shouldn't bother their cycles. If the nutrition level or weather was drastically different, that would be more likely to affect them. One of the reasons to vaccinate in the spring is to protect the cows for diseases that affect their conception - like lepto. If you wait til after you go through your breeding season, they won't help. You should vaccinate 2-4 weeks prior to breeding (of course, this is a blanket statement - you must read your labels of whatever you plan to use) for them to protect the cows prior to breeding.
