Stocker health

What health program do you guys have your stocker calves on? Are you using a value added program? What products and what kinda time line? Implants? Mass treating?

My calves got Express 5 and 7 way at branding, same thing plus a Pasturella in September and boostered again 6 weeks later and they still got pneumonia in November. Most years I never have much of a problem with sick calves but I did this year. Not much more frustrating than sick calves.

Bovashield Gold 5 and Vision 7S at branding and weaning. It seems the two times we really had a problem with pneumonia was when we had vaccinated with a Pasturella.
Implant the steers.
