.....so came out to check them in yard on friday 2 dead.........had the vet post them ,,,,,,,,,,,,black leg ...........he said i need to give them the 3rd shot 3 weeks after the late june round..........and in fall i always run my calves thru twice ........they would be shots 4 and 5 ................
are you kidding me ....in the summer i cant get them home 3 weeks after june shot ....pasture is too good yet ,,,,what a pain in the a**............any body else dealing with this crap ......so 45 years of this stuff and apperently its getting stronger or calves more suseptable | |
