BeefTalk: The J Game – Vaccinate
By Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist

The summer may be hot, but, believe it or not, fall is fast approaching. Fall is the typical time for getting calves prepared to meet the rigors of weaning and shipping. A plan, if not already in place, needs to be developed so it can be applied when the time is right.
The Dickinson Research Extension Center is getting ready to ship some calves. A quick review of the vaccination efforts at the center notes that the calves were vaccinated for viral and bacterial invaders in the spring during branding. The calves will be vaccinated again prior to weaning and at weaning.
