> Hey Bubba! No dumb questions, just dumb answers...lol.
We're in Texas Panhandle and raise registered Texas Longhorns. Our vaccination program for bovines includes:
1. 7-Way & Lepto for blackleg and other stuff. 2. Vet done (required) Bangs (brucellosis)for heifers...must be done before she reaches 12 months old (only done one time). 3. Dectomax injection for broad spectrum systemic de-worming (Ivomec is alternative)--done in spring and fall. (some people use a "pour-on" version of these). 4. If you obtain cattle from out of state, they should have all vaccinations prior to shipment plus a Vet's health certificate. Some states also require a negative TB test. 5. Bulls should also probably have vaccinations for sexually-transmitted diseases, especially if you rent or lease a bull (yours or someone else's). 6. We work out cattle 2X a year, spring and fall--vaccinations that are needed, de-worming Rx. We measure horn length several times a year. Bill.
