[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1715410, member: 12607"] I'm a veterinarian, but was always pretty much a 'minimalist' on vaccinations for my own herd - but we had a closed herd with no fenceline contact with other cattle, and the one neighbor with cattle also had a closed herd. Blackleg on calves and Lepto on cows was about all we ever did... before my wife instituted some management and we started weaning and vaccinating weaners for respiratory diseases; didn't change the mature cowherd vaccinations other than incorporating a hardjo-bovis vaccine into the mix when Spirovax came on the market. But... if you're gonna have cattle... you need to - at the bare minimum - vaccinate against the Clostridial species... otherwise, at some point, it's gonna BITE you! Lose one good calf to blackleg and you could have bought a lifetime supply of vaccine. You can give first dose any time after ~ 60 days of age, then booster 3-4 wks later, and they should be good to go. [/QUOTE]
