I keep cows a pretty significant distance from home through the summer. I fill that pasture with 5 weight stockers. For years I gave Micotil as soon as I got them home, along with all vaccines. Through the years of hearing of deaths associated with Micotil, it scared me off of it. Last year I had my vet work calves (Including Micotil) the first time. Decided if I wan't to make any money I better back off that. This year, I decided vaccines only and watch them close for a couple of weeks before they go to grass. Now I swear I can almost hear them coughing in my sleep, though I know it's only my fears working on me. What does everyone who buys stockers do?
1- Routine expensive antibiotic such as Nuflor, Micotil, etc...
2- Vaccines only
3- Antibiotic only if you think there's a need
4- Something even better I haven't thought of?
