[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 563385, member: 9"] Good vaccination program is worth it weight in gold! Don't be a "penny wise and a pound foolish"! Sure...there are many cattle people out there that don't do vaccinations...some have been lucky (and I stress lucky) and others have been shot in the foot with cattle illnesses, diseases, and deaths. In our program we don't spend more than about $25 a year for comprehensive vaccination program, plus about another $10-15 a year for twice year de-worming. We do our own vaccinations. You can buy a HECK of a lot of vaccines for the price of one animal that died or you had to transport to (or call out to the farm) a Vet for services. Blackleg is the #1 priority vaccination. Second priority is for a one-time shot for brucellosis for heifers (only a Vet can give this shot and tag them). If you plan to sell or transport cattle across State Lines (and sometime across County lines) proper vaccinations are required (esp. Brucellosis and sometimes TB). For example: If a given rancher has 500 cattle and 1 or 2 die due to disease or illness...well (according to them) "BFD"! On the other hand if you have 10 or 20 animals and ONE dies, you have lost a heck of a lot of money or one animal to put in your freezer... If you don't vaccinate or de-worm, you are going to need a Semi-Load of Angels walking with you...lol. [/QUOTE]
