[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 604808, member: 3162"] They go through the stress at the sale barn and it affects their immune system. There were times when you could leave the sale barn, go to a vet, and get them treated for $25 a head. Most all modern vets tell you to just not buy anything from a sale barn. The next time you are at the sale barn, see if there is a vet working the sale. Some of the sale barns will have vets to de-horn, innoculate etc. Ask the vet what it would cost to give your cows a shot of nuflour (hopefully 6 cc) and nasalgen. If it is reasonable, have it done immediately. Cheap insurance. Also ask him to sell you some nuflour. If you can get a hold of some Nuflour yourself, run them through the head gate and give them a shot when you get them home. A week or so after they have settled, eating well and all is fine, start them on their immunizations. Just make sure that the Nuflour etc has had time to clear their system before you give them immunizations. Give them their booster immunizations two weeks after that. Then they are safe to mix with the rest of the herd. If they already have fever, Banamine knocks the fever really well. I lost three head myself back in August. I was out of Nuflour. That won't happen again. Or else I won't buy any cows until I get my hands on some. [/QUOTE]
