That is going to depend on your area and what is prevalent in that area. Do you have an established relationship with a vet? If so, I would talk to him/her. If not, I would call around to every vet in the office and tally the suggestions, talk to fellow ranchers and see what they do, and I would also check with the county extension office to see if they could provide guidance as to what diseases might be a problem.

Some things to investigate might include but are not limited too:
blackleg , upper respitory and BVD

Also look at the way the calves will be marketed.

If you are interested in getting in with a group such as merial sure health or a quilty assured program you will have a strict set of guide lines you must follow.
