[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1471793, member: 14161"] You misread what I wrote. Incoming calves are vaccinated and given Draxxin as a prophlactic as it's effectiveness is 2 weeks. Essentially giving the vaccines time to kick in. The calves that do get sick later (and some do) get a round of Resflor. I never said we didn't treat at all. Our experience has shown that leaving out the Draxxin on arrival will just lead to treating most of them 6 to 15 a day until the vaccines kick in. We are in this for profit hopefully and a sick calf can be set back a month in gains. I will look for something for you to read about BVD. I know when conception rates drop and calves don't live that you should be wondering why. Your tracability is likely very similar to ours. [/QUOTE]
