I learned something new yesterday.
Was looking for vaccine and the salesman told me that
7-way with somnus is very hard on the calves. Causes them
get very hot (he actually said 'sweat') and they will go and lay
down. Takes them a few days to get over it. He mentioned also
that the video sales don't require 7-way anymore. I'm not sure
he is correct, but I guess there is no reason to doubt him as
he was being helpful.
I didn't know about the 7-way/somnus deal so I checked with our Vigortone vet who supported his comment. He did say it wouldn't be as hard on calves that are on a good mineral program. One thing that
will help is to use the 7-way and have the somnus with the other
vaccine. In our instance it would be Ultra 7 with pasturella and
Virashild 6 with somnus.
Vision 7 is our vaccine of choice, but it isn't available with pasturella.
