[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 523887, member: 968"] 18 ga for vaccines & thin meds - 16 ga for thicker meds. 3/4" for SQ & 1" for IM. There are still "some" meds that require IM and it is recommended to give "deep" injections. If you are at all concerned about Beef Quality Assurance Programs - or just care about the after-effect of shots, you will use as many products as possible that require SQ injections. SQ shot is given between the layer of skin & the muscle. Cattle may get knots, but the MEAT is not affected. IM (in the muscle) shots can ruin a patch of meat. ALL shots should be given in the neck region. If you have to give an IM shot, you may ruin the least valuable meat. It has been proven that even shots given to newborns in the rump/hind leg region, may have ruined spots in the meat when processed. [/QUOTE]
