[QUOTE="RayfromTX, post: 1489409, member: 31486"] I am new to this stuff. In reading about vaccinations I understand that vaccinations have a higher success rate if the animals are not stressed during the period when the immune response is developing. We vaccinated for black leg yesterday. We will do it again in two weeks. We are ready to brand our cattle. I'm concerned about the stress of branding limiting the response of the vaccinations. The condition of the mamas is about a 4 and sometimes I would call it 5 depending on the weather. The calves look good. We are taking the calves to the auction in 3 weeks. We won't be branding them. The calves are not nursing. The mamas appear to have kicked them off already. Would y'all brand now or wait a month until the immune response is developed? [/QUOTE]
