[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1715938, member: 12607"] Maternal colostral antibodies will have waned enough by about 60 days for most calves to respond to most vaccines... that's when we generally gave the first dose of Clostridial bacterin/toxoid to ours, then boostered 3 wks or so later. The farther out you go past 3 months, the greater likelihood that they may die. The Clostridium organisms are on every property, worldwide. You might 'roll the dice' and get away with not vaccinating for a while... maybe even a few years, but eventually, your calves will take a hit... and if you lose one - and it always seems to be the very best, growthiest calf - you'll have lost enough to pay for many years' supply of vaccines. It's really cheap insurance... and has been stated, 'organic' and 'natural' programs recognize the importance of disease prevention, and allow - if not promote - appropriate vaccination. [/QUOTE]
