BVD - Dairy Lease Bulls

Yesterday was a warm damp day, and was also the day that all the lease bulls (n=141) were getting vaccinated for Bovine Diarrhoea Virus (BVD).  The older bulls on the property are all being used as lease bulls into the Dairy industry and will make their way out to dairy herds early in November.

The actual vaccination process was quick with a quick jab into the muscle in the hind quarters and out the gate at the other end.  The longest part was mustering the 4 different mobs and keeping them apart. 

We used Bovilis, with the bulls getting 2mls each.
