I am kindof new to cattle and we are getting our small bunch together this sat to tag.. My question is while i have them up what should i do to them.. history: Bought the cow calf pairs new years weekend from a local farmer who didn't fool with his cows much just had cows because it was what he had always done.. He hadn't touched them in a while at least a year and now i have 2 calves about6 months old and one that was born christmas eve and all of their mommas which are 8-10 year old hereford angus commercial cows.. They are all heathly and the calves seem to be gaining well just not sure what to do... I think that i should worm them at least but what else...Any suggestions would be appreciated and please give me some name brands.. Our local vets are worthless if it is not a little dog that is worth more than my cattle they are not interested.. I plan on keeping these pairs at least through the summer if not longer.. Thanks by the way someone a few miles away has lost a few calve to blackleg lately.. If that helps with your diag....
What vaccinations??

Alpha-7 is a brand name and you only have to shoot them once. That is for blackleg and for both cows and calves. Vira-Shield 6 for respiratory - calves. Vira-Shield plus VL5 for the mommas if you're going to get them bred. Bovi-Shield Gold is good too. And yes, you should worm them as well. That will get your research started.
