[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1471549, member: 14161"] Yes, PI is a BVD calf...... BVD can also cause poor conception, poor performance and many other problems that just cost money. I have never heard it referred to as pestvirus. BRD, IBR PI3 and Pasturella are all covered by the vaccine we use. As Pasturella has been a problem here we use the Intra nasal at birth as well. We are being told that it is a better vaccine for respiratory disease for young calves than the live is and that it can be boostered when we brand. Our oldest calves are less than 7 weeks when we work them and turn out to summer range. What protocol is used in Oz or other locations that calve year round? I can understand not using a live if half your cows are pregnant all the time and a live vaccine hasn't been used. Sorry if you think I'm trying to bamboozle you. Was never my intention. We have traded a lot of cattle over the years and have brought a lot here in the way of diseases with them. A good vaccination program has paid for itself. I have been able to compare results with several neighbors that didn't vaccinate (with a live) for many years. They watched us also and are now using the program. [/QUOTE]
