label directions. “Some vaccines may not give us a long duration of immunity or may need boostering to reach full effectiveness,” he says. “If we don’t follow the recommen- dation for vaccines we can start seeing some diseases show up a little later, after the fi rst round of vaccines are given.” Among the vaccines presenting
a threat from lapsed protection are the clostridials, particularly teta- nus, which requires 2 doses, and BRSV. “Six weeks after we receive the cattle, we can start having is- sues with BRSV,” Spire says, “so it’s important that we follow the recommendations on the vaccine label and booster the product .” Fall-weaned calf crops, Spire

different challenges. “After the ini- tial feeding period we start getting into warm season grasses,” he says, “and we defi nitely have to emphasize pinkeye control in April and May.” When it’s time to deliver the
cattle to the feedlot, provide health records outlining the vaccination program to the feeder. This allows the feedyard manager to know what to look for upon arrival of the calves. Work with your veterinarian to
prepare your calves for the next step from the gate to the plate. Your ef- forts will keep buyers coming back to you for quality beef cattle.
