[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 446383, member: 6198"] We did the vaccinations and worm thing. We do I should say. We pre treat the cows and bulls prior to breeding. We do that year's calf crop at the same time. Then we would bring in the animals minimum three weeks prior to shipping and booster and worm the calves. Did we see a better price [i]yes[/i] why... ...wean weights were higher due to the less pasture pnemonia ...wean weights were higher due to the worming ...less death or weaker unthrifty calves at birth. ...we would also have the auctionneer tell the buyers that they were boostered that helped ...they looked better so they got a better price But becasue we never had enough for a pot load they got mixed with other animals and got re boostered at the feedlot. Do we background...no...wean on the truck. [i]However[/i] my husband has decided that this year he will not booster with the prices as low as they are and costs as high as they are. The spring vaccinations OK but the fall ones, why if the feedlot will booster anyhow...unless I can sell direct...looking into that now, for a price. [/QUOTE]
