[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1080344, member: 17986"] I have found vaccinations pay well. Many of the calves bought here are shipped to graze in other states. The pastuerella vaccine is available with the black leg mix now. That and a killed respiratory vaccination get the buyers bidding strong. Add weaning and castration and you have their work done for them. This past summer there were reports of a 10% loss on cattle bought from the south east and our prices suffered. The average cow herd here is around 20 cows. That may be one reason many here do not cut, wean or vaccinate. Especially if the births are spread out over the year. Also, many of the cattle farmers here are getting long in the tooth and do not have much help. I am pretty much a one man show and need to squeeze every dime out of each head I can. [/QUOTE]
