[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 554400, member: 4353"] The late fall and early winter would be the most likely time to have a break out in our climate, not sure about your colder climate. In your circumstances I'd vaccinate every calf now and give give a booster 4 -6 weeks later and those that are still younger than 4 months at the time of the second booster I'll give another booster 4-6 weeks later. A few extra shots will be petty change compared to the loss of calves, especially when an outbreak will seldom stop at one animal. Make sure you cover all the clostridial strains, including septicum. Clos.septicum is often not present in the one vaccine does it all jobs. Also send a meat sample in to be analysed to isolate the strain that caused it to adapt your vaccination protocol accordingly.
