[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 508952, member: 6198"] Scour Vaccine...if done, scours may and usually hit but not as hard. Savings: decrease of expensive meds and drenched little or no weight loss from scours Vaccines of IBR/BVD/ lepto/ Homphlus(SP) colostridial etc...prevent summer pnemonia and abortions as well as PI calves Savings: do the math Dewormer for calves and cows and bulls...better conversion of feed, proven additional gain on calves resulting in higher wean weights Savings: again do the math boosters of weaned calves results in better prices for preconditioned calves (we've gotten better prices because of the vaccinations), plus the retained weaned calves go into our feed pens in better condititon resulting in less stress related illnesses Savings reputation with buyers for good quailty calves, not as much spending in drugs for pnemonia and other related weaning sickness Overall it may cost in doing what we do, but we see the benifits and the $ at the sale barn.
