An important message for area producers Dr. Kent Leckie, Veterinarian Jerome Smith, Large Animal Medical Coordinator Amber Eischen, Certified Veterinary Technician This year's calf crop is looking good, and will soon be ready for weaning and processing. Do you know what your local veterinarians are recommending for your calves? We recommend giving a virus vaccine, which will prevent respiratory viruses. Pasturella vaccines are also a key factor in preventing respiratory infections in young calves. These infections are prevalent in our local area. Clostridial vaccines are also a key vaccine in young calves, preventing an overload of natural bacteria in the gut. Histophilus Somni is also in our full clostridial seven way vaccines. Giving a second dose or a booster leaves a calf with a better protected immune system. It's also a great time to implant calves, if you have any questions or interest, please call us at the clinic to discuss what's best for your calves. As the summer winds down we can look forward to fall pregnancy checks and vaccinating our local dams as well. Our local producers continue to improve individual herd health and we look forward to keep providing excellent local veterinary care. Call us today!
