[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12080"] Vaccinations depend on your locale. In Texas Panhandle region we use either a 5-way or 7-way vaccination. Also, Brucellosis (Bangs) must be given to heifers by a Vet and certified (in Texas, before 12 months of age). Bulls usually also given vaccination for venereal diseases. De-worming Fall & Spring with injectible. Our Vet prefers Dectomax over Ivomec--he says it's better and about same (overly priced) price. As long as cattle have options to eat things and good hay or grass, they usually won't eat anything toxic. One problem with garden plants that have seeds is that you will re-seed them in cow manure. Potato plants can also be toxic. When in doubt, put stuff in compost pile for later tilling back into your garden. Another potential problem with green garden foliage is that since gardens are usually fertilized, some plants might have too high level of nitrates in them that might harm livestock. Texas A & M University has sub-sites you can look at on Toxic Plants...excellent information! Some other university sites do too, but can't remember which ones. Good luck!
