[QUOTE="Lane, post: 864461, member: 14381"] I have a question concering my practices with incomming calve. I buy 3 wt. calves from 3 barns each week. My normal procedure is to pick up calves after sales generally on Tues. and Wed. I hold these calves in a large lot with shade and give them hay and feed and let them rest until Thur. after- noon and work the calves. At this time I pull backtags, insert eartags, mass medicate with Draxxin, give a vaccination for upper-resperatory, a vaccination for pasteurella, a injectable wormer, and drench with an appetite enhancer. This has worked well for me for a couple of years. This past weekend I had a vet come in to write a set of health papers and I was asking him if the combination of giving the antibiotic at the same time as the vaccine could possibly decrease the efficiency of the vaccines? I feel like I need the antibiotic because these little light calves have been under stress and I don't really want to work these calves multiple times in the first few weeks. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
