[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 158496, member: 2830"] Whoa back Mr. Novaman - I think you need to re-read the question - it concerns vitamins - NOT vaccinations. I will repeat a post I made earlier tonight on another thread to another person. ------------------------------------------------------- [i]Seems folks like to spend money - or reccommend we spend money on cattle. I would suggest you sit down and potentially re-think your operation. There is always room to revamp if one looks objectively at how things run. Genetics, genetics, genetics. We have never wormed a cow in my life. We vaccinate - Modified live vaccine for Bovine Pneumonia, IBR, BVD, PI-3, BRSV. 8 Way for Black Leg, Dysentry, Hepatitus, Edema and Tetanus. Tetanus was a surprise to me - it is buried in the Covexin 8 Way - did not know it was there. I looked the above information up the other day for a friend. We never creep and we never used store bought sacks of any type of feed - generally we buy mineral and salt. Otherwise it is straight hay and when I feel generous - some corn. Never feed it when the temp is above minus 20 - 30. They simply do not need it. We never spend money on straw - they sleep on the snow and they seem to do very well as long as they are out of the wind. I figure the total cost per head for meds is less than 15 bucks per head on an annual basis - and we never have had any probs we could not handle - not to say it will not happen, but so far so good. If you run a closed herd you can cut down dramatically and increase your profits. Sit down and take a long hard look - you may find you are not committing heresy - you may simply be deciding to raise cattle in the way they were designed to be raised. Bez![/i] ----------------------------------------- As for vitamin shots - I have never worked on a ranch that ran the cattle through for vitamin shots - it was used for doctoring - that is a given. I darned sure never had a cow that lost it's appetite - if it did the 'yotes or wolves got it - or once in a while the bears. Or we shipped it - right away - I DO NOT want those genetics on the place. The cattle game is not a numbers of head game - it is a quality game - cull the s.o.b. The harder you cull the better the herd in the end. If it sits in a 5 acre pasture and is watched every day - and it does not appear to be eating - if there is food available and it gets hungry it will eat. I stand by my comments: If it is fed right it needs nothing else! Bez! [/QUOTE]
