Current situation is 25 bred (well 24 are bred, one had a calf last week) F1 tigerstripes. All should be calved out by Feb. Planning on working all cows and calves around 1-Mar-06. All the calves will get parasite control (Dectomax injection), 4-way respiratory shot (Bovi-Shield 4), and 7-way (One Shot Ultra 7). I will not castrate any bull calves from this year's crop (more on that later). I'll also vaccinate all cows for Vibro/Lepto (PregGuard 9), clostridial disease (UltraChoice , and worm with Dectomax injection.
20-Mar-06 I'll turn the bull in with them for 63 days.
Good program. Few comments. First, you are vaccinating everything 3 weeks prior to breeding, so you can use MLV on the calves because the cows are open. PregGuard 9 is a MLV which covers IBR PI3 BRSV BVD and Lepto 5, you need PregGuard10 to cover Vibrio and it is recommended that you give a Vib-Lepto and a BRSV booster shot 3-4 weeks later - only on the first year, next year they don't need a booster. You could give the booster at breeding time.
I see you plan on moving the cows back to Jan 1 for calving. Next year, this routine won't be ideal because the calves will be too young for vaccines 3 weeks prior to breeding (usually recommended that they should be over 3 months of age).
We use MLV on both cows & calves, but we have to do two spring work ups- one for the cows prior to calving & later for the calves after the last calf is 3 months old (then the calves again for boosters).
The calves will need booster shots (at least for the BRSV in the BS4 and the 7-way in the OneShot Ultra Choice. OneShot UC is a vaccine for Pasturella (OneShot - does not need booster) and the Ultra Choice is a 7-way clostridial which needs booster shots - 4-6 weeks later.
The better job you do, the more complicated it gets. If you do not booster the shots recommended, you might as well not give it (according the pharmaceuticals that make the products). Once an animal has received the boosters, than they only need yearly booster - at normal workup time.
If you give the vaccines prior to 3 months, the calves immunities that they have gotton from the cows colostrum interveres with them getting any immunites from the shots. These instructions should be easily found on the instructions with each vaccine.
We revaccinate & worm all our calves prior to weaning with BS5L5 so that their immune system is top-notch prior to the stress of weaning.
