[tncattle]

Just curious to what size needle y'all use for vaccinations/antibiotics? I've been using 18 gauge/1 inch

I use a 16 x 1 1/2 for everything

Same as Dun, 1" is a litle short for IM injections in large cows and bulls.

18 x 1.5 for IM and 18 x 1 for SQ here.

16 ga x 1 " for IM and IV....16 ga x 1/2 for subq.

I have always used 16G x 1.5 for all my injections. Here is a good site for some info on it.. http://www.agrilabs.com/t-BHW_Beef_Fall ... nTips.aspx

Shots should not be given anywhere except in the neck.

Doc does the vaccinations and don't know what size he uses. I use 20g x 1/2" for everything I give, which isn't much lol
