What is the best kind of syringe to buy for giving cattle shots and where is the best place to purchase one? There is so many kinds, need some help on this issue. Want a nice one that is idiot proof. (LOL) Thanks for replies.

Also I like to use the smaller 3cc/mL syringes for injecting vaccines, B-vits, etc. I also prefer to use the needles that are 1 1/2inches over the 1inch needle length. JMO

For vaccinating alot of calves or cows I use the blue allflex automatic syringes that you can adjust the dosage, they have different colored ends that make it easy to differentiate between each vaccine. It makes it more convenient when doing a larger amount of cattle. Make sure you change the needles often so they do not become dull.

To each his own I reckon. What happens if you have to give a 5cc shot and all you got is 3cc syringes then you gotta give two shots instead of one.
