[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 503940, member: 6198"] to be honest, I know nothing of lepto except to vaccinate for it. As for IBR and BRVD and BVd, i know abit. to vaccinate now, it won't....the damage is already done. The calves are already more than likely infected, this is why vaccinations are done pre breeding...for fetal protection. The calves are going to be at a serious disadvantage when they hit the ground. They will also shed the virus, along with the cows, and shed even more while stressed through every hole, opening, snot shedding, saliva, semen, etc. So unless these animals have been quarented since arrival including the water, you have just infected your home herd. Best get all of them tested. BVD is worse in that it compromises the system allowing secondary infections to take hold and cost alot if bucks to clear up. It also produces PI calves which will shed the virus every chance it get. the calf might look real healthy until slaughter but it will still shed the virus. The calves will be prone to scours, e coli, pnemonia, pink eye, in fact, any and all infectious diseases and sicknesses. It would be best to get all the infected animals out of the breeding program...to stop the spred of the dieases. To vaccinate now is like putting toothpaste back in the tube ....or closing the gate to keep the cattle in after they all got out. gotta go to work, good luck [/QUOTE]
