I read an article somewhere (can’t remember where) saying that cases of pneumonia are likely to be a lot higher this winter than others. Having had a couple of mild cases over the last year or two I’m just wondering what people are using to prevent it. I’m sure it will be cheaper than the alternative of possibly losing a weaned calf!!

Proctor tubes and fans in cattle courts. Been a life changer - for cattle and me!!! Probably best money I have ever spent.
Proctor tubes?
Proctor group used to make fans with tubes - no idea if they still do.

i use rispoval intranasal vaccine when they come in. squirt up the nose for 3 months protection. you can use a jag for 6 months protection, but it involves 2 jags, second one a fortnight before housing, so a lot more work. 3 months works fine for me as it covers the mild wet months and weaning for a closed herd, if you're buying in as well, then 6 months would be better imo

Clip their backs and rumps out 3 clipper widths each side of the backbone, stops sweating. I’ve got no ridge on our latest beef building. Have lot less trouble in there than the older sheds. So they go in the ridge less shed while the stress of weaning is gone through.
