The females represented in this offering have been on an aggressive, state of the art vaccination program since birth. Before entering the replacement herd all females receive three doses of modified live Respiratory vaccine, seven way and Vibrio-Lepto prior to breeding. Once in the cow herd the vaccine program includes pre-breeding vaccination with Vibrio-Lepto (Stay-Bred, Pfizer) and Breed Back FP (Boehringer-Ingleheim). Breed Back FP offers the most complete protection against both type 1 and type 2 BVD infection during gestation. The fall vaccination program includes an all killed IBR, PI3, BRSV and Types 1 and 2 viral vaccine as well as a seven way clostridial booster. These cows have also been given an initial two dose Scour Guard 3kc in their first year followed by a booster dose within 45 days of calving. The cows offered in this sale will need a Scour guard booster prior to calving. External and internal parasites are controlled with a spring permectrin and Fall avermectin pour-on.

The breeding herd vaccination program at Snake Creek Ranch uses the most up to date and effective vaccines available in the industry today. You will not find a more complete vaccine program anywhere. This aggressive health program has helped in providing a strong maternal antibody transfer resulting in a vigorous, healthy calf that hits the ground running.
