[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1385426, member: 24027"] Our vet recommends around 3 months because prior to that they're protected by passive immunity although we do give the bull calves Covexin 8 when we band, typically day 1 or 2, for tetanus. EXCEPT this year when we lost a 1 month old 200 lb heifer to Clostridum perfringes Type D, also known as the classic overeating disease; rare in cattle but found in well nourished beef calves nursing high producing cows grazing lush pasture ( her lineage is enormous & we had an early spring). Vet recommended we vaccinate all the calves for clostridial diseases immediately and going forward will vaccinate according to the pasture conditions and, of course, our vets recommendations.
