New Cows

[bulldog04]

So I will be taking over lease of 120 acres of pasture and 40 acres of hay meadow. It borders 65 acres that I already own with some cattle on it. I will be buying around 70 mommas through individuals and consignment sales at the sale barn. What kind of treatment should I give these cows before turning out? I worry about pneumonia (had it happen after buying a cow and got to her too late) but idk if that is an issue this time of year

It's always an issue when you combine cattle from different places and the stockyard also.
I buy something every week and as soon as I get home they get Inforce 3 and Presponse. Also wormed and tagged. Calves get castrated and alpha 7 also plus the previous.

I wish we were buying every week. You must have a huge operation. Congrats.

Not a huge operation. I buy a few most every week but sell a lot also. For me It's all about moving them along and making some money.

I like Inforce 3. What have you seen by using Presponse?

 

[kenny thomas]

Lucky_P recommend it in addition to the Inforce 3. It's very rare that I have a sick calf from the stockyard since I started using both.

What do you booster with?

 

[kenny thomas]

Booster is not needed using these 2 vaccine. Another reason I like it.
Most vaccine with Presponse in a mix do require a booster. Presponse by itself does not.

 

[bulldog04]

Do you just squirt inforce 3 in the nostril with a syringe or is there a special tool to use?

 

[bird dog]

So Kenny you are using the Presponse SQ?

You can squirt it into the nostril(s) via a small 3 cc syringe but plastic nasal catheters come gratis with the company supplying internasal vaccines.
