Changing pinkeye vaccine?

[tom4018]

There were a lot of problems inour area last year with pinkeye, a strain not normally seen in cattle. Local vets cultured some cases and have had a custom vaccine made to cover it. If I change I will have to booster according to the vet. Thats a extra working. my main question is is how effective are vaccines that have been made like this? Is it worth doing? I would like to avoid pinkeye is at all possible and wonder if it was worth switching from pinkeye shield.

I just looked at in on Valley Vet, not much info on it but it only covers the bovine strain.

I might be getting a group of Hereford feeder calves in about 3 weeks. You think I should use this on them? They will be in the Tn. Hereford feeder calf sale so maybe they have already been vaccinated for it? :???:

That is the same thing bse is talking about but is not effective on the Moraxella ovis that was seen in cattle in this area last year.
