And what's the approx cost come in at for all 3 vaccines per cow?

In my experience, a vaccine in reasonable bulk purchase is £6-7 per jag, no mater what it is for and how many boosters they need.

Surely bvd vaccination is best administered soon after calving to protect the forthcoming pregnancy ?

Bovillis, but thinking of using bovela for the heifers then bovillis booster for the cows to save jabbing the heifers twice.

I didn't use any vaccines as were bvd free and have a low level of lepto,a lame bull last spring meant I got the Ai man for the 1st time in years and he kindly brought me ibr it spread like wildfire through my herd.
Going to vaccinate for botulism later this week because of another local outbreak,£2.40/cow.

Good to see you back, how did you get on with your fleck bull?

A small amount of leptavoid has been released last week, you might get lucky.
