What are the core vaccines for cattle?
Core vaccines for cattle include clostridium and tetanus. There are many other different vaccines that we can give, including for respiratory viruses and bacteria.
At what age should calves get vaccinated?
Calves should start getting vaccinated around 3-4 months of age. We do recommend this a little bit earlier if you do plan on castrating them, so that they have the vaccines in their system before they get castrated.

Calves need respiratory vaccines and also for tetanus.
Are there different vaccines for dairy cows and beef cows?
There are different vaccines for beef cattle and dairy cows, but we'll usually take that on a case-by-case basis and what your herd specifically needs.
Are there any possible side effects of vaccines in cattle?
In cattle, the most common side effects are swelling at the area where I give the vaccine, and sometimes if it's raining that day or the cattle are really dirty, they can develop an abscess in that area. That's why we recommend vaccinating cattle on a clean, dry day.
