[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 451407, member: 2308"] For vaccinatios, the basics usually are a clostridial 7-way(blackleg) and one that covers the shipping fever and pneumonia. The best thing would be to talk to a vet, and see what he reccomends in your area. Other vaccines will somewhat depend on what you are planning to do with these heifers. Are they for breeding or are you just planning to feed them. Again, what you want for record keeping will depend on what your plans are for heifers. If you are just feeding them you don't need an elaborate system. Just tag #, weight (if you are weighing them) and somewhere to mark down if you treated one, which one it was, what you treating for and what medication you used. If you are keeping them for breeding, that depends a lot on how elaborate you want your records to be. Lots of people just keep a calving book, where they write down the # of the cow, when she calved and what sex the calf is. Or you can go as far as keeping track of everything fromthe basics, right up to BW, WW, description of calf, and everything in between. Whatever the case, it is a good idea to keep track of which animals get treated, what for, what with, withdrawl, and so on. [/QUOTE]
