Spring time brings green grass and spring turnout for many cattle producers in South Dakota. How we manage those calves at spring turn out can impact them for their lifetime.
During this episode of Cattle HQ, Robin Salverson uses her personal experiences in the branding pen to ask Addie Womack and Dr. Russ Daly why BQA best management practices should be followed at spring turnout.
- How do springtime vaccinations set up calves for success?
- At what age do calves respond to vaccinations?
- Why does the location of injection impact the calf and the meat?
- How many bottles of modified live vaccines (MLV) be mixed up at one time?
- What happens if you draw up the wrong vaccine into the syringe?
- How should intranasal vaccines be administered?
- Plus more will be answered during this episode.
