[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 913787, member: 7509"] I suggest not playing doctor and establishing a relationship with a good local experienced large animal/cattle vet. He can recommend what is needed for your area and you can learn a lot working with him. I have my vet out twice a year for my preventive medicine program. He comes in the spring after all calves are born and we run the whole herd through the chute to get shots, poured and the bull calves cut. Vet comes out again in the fall at weaning time for booster shots, preg check and pour. He also looks each animal over and can address any other questions. This twice a year visits ends up costing about $25/head/year and he supplies all materials used. This program along with using a good mineral year round, keeping fly rubs oiled and I really have very few herd health issues. Having a decent handling facility makes vet visits easier = less expensive. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
