Been awhile since we've had a vaccine discussion. What are you guys using now? I'm still kinda partial to Pfizer stuff. Or Zoetis, more accurately. Never understood that name change, to be honest. Great name recognition with Pfizer, but change it to something that most people had never heard of and that a lot of people can't pronounce? Sounds kinda stupid to me, but I digress. LOL
I use Bovishield Gold VL5 in the cowherd and usually try to do it in January or February to start calving in early spring. Calves get a Bovishield at branding. I started using Vision for a blackleg shot instead of the Pfizer so I could add a somnus. So, Vision with Somnus also at branding. Then booster those and normally add a mannheimia/pasturella on weaning day.
For calves I buy, I use the same products, just have to vary the delivery times based on time of year, what each group looks like when they get here, whether I use a really good mass treatment, etc. Sometimes I even use an intranasal on those, but Bovishield is still my go-to for virals in every case.
What about you? What are you guys using now?
