[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 162258, member: 852"] I wouldn't dare take a chance on a PI calf by deliberately not vaccinating for BVD. Bottle calves I've gotten away with not vaccinating or worming, but on a mature animal? Wouldn't do it. I'm firmly convinced the reason one of my nurse cows - open 18 months! - bred back was because I vaccinated her per label instructions, all by the book, and she bred first service after vaccinating. And what about all the other problems that you can run into - IBR, blackleg, brucellosis, etc, etc, etc - I for one think a vaccine is pretty doggone cheap protection. For that matter - the brucellosis vaccine is required by law on heifers in most states. And as to other drugs - I have quite a few animals on my place that wouldn't have survived if I hadn't used antibiotics on them. LA200, Baytril, Nuflor, Spectam, sulfas, etc, etc. Another bit of cheap animal care. Can't say as I agree with you, Richie. [/QUOTE]
