I have a few angus cross cows with some pretty new calves that need worming. I picked up some IVOMEC injectable. I've read that you need to be careful when using it because of complications due to grubs. I live in Kansas. Is this a safe time of year to use it? Also, any recommendations for vaccines for cows that have calves on them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As far as vaccines go, I would recommend that you get with a veterinarian or knowledgeable cattlemen in your area, and follow his advice for what you need to be vaccinating for there.
As far as my area, I vaccinate twice a year, they have calves on them in the fall. Thanksgiving Day ish procedure:
Virashield 6 VL5 HB
Covexin 8
Pour on or injectable wormer, or both
I sometimes go ahead and give the calves their first rounds of the Virashield and Covexin 8 at this time, followed a month later with second rounds and knife.
My bull turnout is Dec. 10 ish.
