[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1740891, member: 25884"] Glad to see the "rules" for Bangs vacc. If I am not mistaken, a "mature Vacc" animal will always show up as a positive... and I know that both Conn., and Va do not allow mature Vacc. I worked with dairies in both CT when I was living there, and as a milk tester here in Va for over 30 years. Each state has their "age limits" like [USER=968]@Jeanne - Simme Valley[/USER] in NY and if I can remember back that far I think CT was also 4-8 months or something. Anyone showing cattle here has the calves done at 4-12 months... most do it at 4-6 months for ease of handling... I just think it is good practice... and then my calves can go anywhere in the US if it came to that. Not that they are anything other than "mutts".... but the tattoo has saved us with identification several different times over the years... and having the vacc papers has been able to prove our ownership when heifers have "mysteriously" wound up in other fields with an adjoining neighbors cattle... yep... stopped some from being "sold by mistake" because we could prove they were ours with the papers and that we had not sold them previously... I keep good records...works good with unscrupulous adjoining neighbor farmers.... because they can cut the tags out but they cannot take the tattoos out... and a couple were too stupid to realize that a tag was indication of more ID inside the ear.... Don't get me wrong, not all our calves get bangs... sometimes the age gets away from us, especially the last 2-3 years with my ankle then knee replacements, elder family problems and not keeping up with some things as other things became more pressing. Hoping to get back to more normal routines this year. And by calves I am referring to the heifers.... [/QUOTE]
