[QUOTE="Farm Family, post: 1809237, member: 43070"] Not veterinarian advice so take with grain of salt…but this is what our veterinarian has allowed or okayed for our operation, herd, area etc. We vaccine calves with live vaccine at three months (roughly - right when they head to pasture) and at roughly six months (weaning) so basically spring and fall. Come the following spring replacement yearlings (breeding age) get vaccinated with cows who are only vaccinated annually. We use killed vaccine on all cows or breeding heifers. We do all breeding stock in the spring just seems to work well with weather etc…our cows stay out for as long as they can, the snow has to be pretty deep before we bring them home to the pens. Typically by the time they come in they are coming home to calve. Vaccinating cows in the fall makes little sense for us. So as for any two week booster we are not able to facilitate that…so far has not bit us in the butt. Our herd is quite closed…I would say nearly 100% closed. Any newcomers are quarantined and come from similar vaccine protocols. My husband is a dairy “kid” and those cattle saw live vaccine at 3, 6 and 12 months, they were bred at 13-14 months. Unless those girls hit grass in the summer, when they might be dry, they would get a blackleg (Covexin or Tazvax or like) but some dry off in the winter and never see any other vaccine for their lifetime. Again several years and no bite in the butt that he ever recalls. Again closed herd. Again not veterinarian advice and granted many opinions about this. Only sharing what we have done and currently doing. Not saying it is the right way or will work for your area, herd or veterinarian recommendations. [/QUOTE]
