Born in November and December of 1998 and January of 1999, this set of preconditioned calves consists of 78 steers and 72 heifers. The offering has been consigned to the PREMIUM STOCKER AND FEEDER SALE scheduled for November 18, 1999 at JORDAN CATTLE AUCTION, San Saba, Texas.
These calves were marked and branded at an average age of 3 months on March 1, 1999. At that time, bull calves were castrated with a knife and all calves with detectable horns were dehorned. The calves were administered Ultrabac 7/Somubac by subcutaneous injection for immunity against Clostridium sp. and Hemophilus somnus infection. An intranasal dose of TSV2 was also administered to provide protection against IBR and PI3. These vaccines are Pfizer products.
