[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1796438, member: 968"] Welcome to the boards! How old are your heifers? They still look quite young to be breeding. They should weigh around 750#-800#?? I'm not sure on that with the Wagyu breeding in them. You will get a lot of different health programs. From zero to one like mine. You first need to develop a relationship with a VET. Find out from them what they recommend for you. There are two types of vaccines - Modified Live and Killed. MLV generally only needs 1 shot/per season. KV must have a booster shot in a specific time frame (generally about 4 weeks after the first). KV is more expensive but some consider "safer". MLV you have to be careful with cows nursing calves (cows must be vaccinated within 12 months of vaccinating the nursing calf). My program (in Upstate NY): All my cows receive MLV - Bovi-Shield 5L5HB - dewormed twice a year All my calves receive: At 3 months old: Bovi-Shield 5L5HB - dewormed with Valbazen (drench) One-Shot Ultra 8 At 4 months old: Bovi-Shield 5L5HB - dewormed with a Pour On Ultra-Choice 8 The calves are fully vaccinated at weaning, so I do not process them again until about 3-4 weeks after weaning. Then they get: BS5L5HB One-Shot Ultra 8 Again dewormed All my spring bred females get BS5L5HB in the fall + deworming. [/QUOTE]
