[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10075"] There are a whole bunch of things to be considered. First, what is making these cattle sick? Next, is the area they're kept in contaminated? Where do the cows come from? What are their living conditions like before you get them? Have they been vaccinated against disease? If so, were any booster vaccines given if recommended on the label? Be sure you understand that treating an animal with an antibiotic is NOT the same as vaccinating them. Are your antibiotics kept in a refrigerator? Have they been contaminated by dirty needles? Are any of the meds expired? Could someone be using a dirty needle to treat both well and sick animals? A friend infected a whole year's crop of calves by doing that. We do need more details, but it sounds like you may be using a LOT of drugs - more than average for a small operation. > We keep three truckloads of > cattle at a time on our cuttin > horse place here.(Texas)We use > Baytrol,Banamine,Nuflor,LA200,and > Micotil the most.
