[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 317807, member: 9"] Nationally, all cattle should be vaccinated against Brucellosis (Bangs). In Texas heifers are vaccinated ONLY by a Vet for Brucellosis between age of 4 months and 12 months old. We vaccinate for Brucellosis, Blackleg, Bovine Virus Diarrhea, Parainfluenza Virus (PI3), BSRV. Calves at 3-4 months & at weaning (~205 days). All animals get yearly booster vaccinatios in Spring working. We de-worm with Ivomectin injectible (1 cc per 110# animal weight: Calves at 3-4 months and again at weaning. Others in Spring and Fall. When the Vet does the Brucellosis vaccination on Heifers he puts a required metal tag in ear + Tattoos the other ear and reports this to the State of Texas. Our annual cost for all vaccinations runs not more than $25. a year per animal. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!" While Longhorns have a natural "disease resistance" more than other breeds, we still vaccinate for stuff not required by State "Law". Ranchers that do not vaccinate are playing poker: hoping their animals won't get sick and/or die. Some are very lucky; others pay the price for not vaccinating. Losing ONE animal to disease (plus risk of infecting others in their herd) will pay for a LOT of vaccines! In our 5.5 years of raising Longhorns we have [u]never[/u] had an animal get sick and require treatment, or die. If a rancher can document their vaccination program to prospective buyers of their animals it goes a long way to communicating to the buyer that they are getting a healthy animal. At Running Arrow Farm we are obsessive with our animals health and keep extensive records on all of our animals: these records are given to any buyer of our stock. We also have a Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) "TB Accredited and Brucellosis Certified" disease free herd: Our animals are tested yearly by our Vet with required paperwork forwaded to the TAHC.
