[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 676746, member: 6198"] We take all used needles to the vet to dispose of. As well she takes in the empty bottles of drugs, expired drugs and the dewormer bottles. We do not interchange the needles and the drugs. One needle one drug...dispose of needle. A clean needle *usually* goes into the bottle of antibotics. We use pour on dewormer for our cows. It hangs quite nicely chute side. When making up the calving kit, the syringes are marked so as to not mix up the vitamins and what ever else is in the tool box. When vaccinating we use the needle a few times and then switch the needle. However the last batch of needles seem to bend after every animal so i went through alot. We always use detectable needles house just in case one breaks. If they bend i do not use in the next animal for fear the needle will break off in the animal. We use the repeater guns and i like the allfex the best. The vet says they are more accurate than the metal w/ glass repeaters. and i have broke my share of glass tubes while vaccinating. We do our best to make sure all vaccinations are kept cool - Pfizer gave out free zipper cooler bags for this purpose - and shaded. They are also mixed as needed rather than a whole bunch at a time. Can slow things down abit, but for the cost of the vaccinations, I want the stuff to work the way it is suppose to.

I am sure the States is very simillar [/QUOTE]
