[QUOTE="BlackBaldyMan, post: 202315, member: 3511"] Just a word of caution and what happened to us this year. I am a member in a club/business where 12 other fellow students and I run a small feedlot (130 head) and create/exicute all levels of operation from vaccine protocals to ordering/building feed diets. We had a calf get pneumonia and due to human error it did NOT get vaccinated as soon as it should have. It began to go down hill very fast so we isolated it into its own pen. Eventually we knew there was something serious and after a vet examination we concluded that because of the prolonged vaccination the lungs adhered to the rib cage, and the calf would eventually die. About 2 months later, it did die (2 weeks ago) and because of the fairly rare case the vet hospital (universitys) had a necropsy and was very interesting to see that the part of the lung that the animal uses most was dead tissue and the part unused was perfectly fine but was very odd to see them adheared to the ribs. So long story short when you see pneumonia vaccinate as soon as possible! [/QUOTE]
