[QUOTE="js1234, post: 1380633, member: 17596"] Yes, it is critical to give shots. If you have the volume to sell multiple load lots, its certainly to your advantage in terms of a better return to give 2 rounds of shots. I've mentioned in other posts here that when I buy calves for our stocker operations, I will buy a weaned calf and I will buy a bawler but I don't buy calves that don't have two rounds of shots. Lots of other guys do buy calves with just the shots at branding but all you have to do is look at sales results form video sales to see that the second round of shots pays for itself many many times over in terms of increased price given for the calves. Honestly, unless you want to put the time in to getting them hard weaned and past all the break that comes at weaning time health wise, as a buyer, I'd rather just have them as a bawler with 2 rounds of shots and my crew will get them weaned.
