[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 255304, member: 2308"] From the studies I have read, and from talking with our vet, we don't give shots until the calves are at least a month old. From what I understand, giving a vaccination to a newborn calf is pointless because their immune system doesn't react to the vaccine like an older animals will. As long as he had a good dose of colostrum (hopefully from his mother) he should be good for at least that long. At the very least I would give the calf an 8-way with somnugen. After that there is a thousand things you can give. The best thing would be to talk to your vet or other cattle producers in the area and see what you need. [/QUOTE]
