[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1339508, member: 12607"] With current environmental conditions, this is probably a good time to revisit the 85/70 rule. If daytime temps are exceeding 85F, and nighttime temps are not dropping below 70F, you(generic) do not need to be doing ANYTHING stressful with cattle - and certainly not vaccinating... those conditions virtually assure that you will not get an optimum response to any vaccine/bacterin administered - and if it's a MLV product... you can count on it not working. Additionally, working cows in those environmental conditions can be a recipe for heat-stroke - in the cattle AND in the folks working them. Several years back, I had a discussion with an older gentleman who'd brought some stocker calves in to the lab for necropsy, about this time of year. He was talking about when they'd been 'working' those calves a week or so earlier... said the pistol-grip syringe was so hot that it would burn your hand... what's the likelihood that the virus in that MLV product was DOA? Pretty good, I'd say... [/QUOTE]
