[QUOTE="highvoltagecattleco, post: 471238, member: 6225"] If you are getting these cattle from good farms who vaccinate regularly. You should be fine not giving BVD, IBR and 7 (8) Way vaccinations. If you get them under 24 hours I would give them a calf guard. Dairys typically have e-coli issues. Seen or unseen. I always give pro-bios for the first week. Watch for scours. That is the biggest killer on those bottle calves. First sign, I give them Oral Spectam and electrolytes. I quit using kaolin-pectin a long time ago. Never had any success. When you have an e-coli issue, the worst thing to do is to dyke up the calf. I have read that you should vaccinate at 8 weeks. Typically on a beef calf you would do it at weening. Those calves are getting anti-bodies from their dam. I vaccinate at 4 weeks then a booster in 21 days. I use killed vaccines. [/QUOTE]
