[QUOTE="Phil in Tupelo, post: 1016841, member: 1425"] Sometimes I have seen the weed load heavier than thought. Spraying a year or two will really help most pastures. The question I saw was if you could only do one, fertlize or spray, I would spray. As to vaccines, the basics are best. We have Blackleg here, vaccines are very cheap. Our experience has been when you lose a calf to BL, it is the biggest and prettiest in the pasture. Maybe now $600 to $800 value. That pays for a lot of .20 to .25 vaccines. Closed herd, it may not matter at home, but when those babies leave the farm, it won't take the buyer long to figure out he/she may not want your cattle again. And then again, none of the above may be true. Some people are just plain lucky. [/QUOTE]
