I have two bottle fed calves in the barn...Both a little over 4 months old. What recommendations for vaccinations and when? I would like specific names if possible. These are my first babies, and I would like them properly vaccinated before I turn them out in the pasture. Thanks. One I know only had powdered colostrum.
 
I give a pneumonia nasal vaccine pretty much as soon as I get them at 3 days old. Then I give an 8 way at 3 months and booster it according to what it says on the label. That's all we give around here. I also sometimes give tetanus to my bull calves when I band them but only if I have it on hand. It's best to give your local vet a call and ask them what is appropriate for your area.
 
I do covexin 8 and triangle 10. Repeat in 5 weeks. That covers most likely diseases
 
We use a 5 in 1 in Australia, good for sheep and cattle, or 7 in 1, you can read what is in them at zoetis, I would be doing them now, or a month or so ago :)

couple of months for bottle calves...IMO
