    I would welcome some information on the use of Spirovav Vaccine.

    The information that I have is that once the Vial is breached it should be used within 10 hours.
    I opened a new vial today to inject a heifer that I bought. After drawing 2 ml, I sellotaped the vial and put same in the fridge.
    Would the contents of the vial be good enough to use again in 4 weeks time in order to complete the initial vaccination course.

    Worrying is absolute stupidity. Especially when its very unlikely to happen

    There's a difference between being over worried and being sensible enough to be cautious and want to be here for her calving due to issues last year.

    Handy little three year old KJB x EPN second calver with a EBY bull calf.
    Used EBY on a few second calvers for the first time this year, pretty impressed with them, easy calved and nice muscle and shape to them.
    Do they stay a bit small as they grow up?

    Wouldn't say so. Have 2 out of cwi cows and one is extremely tall and other is average

    He's actually rather plain when dried off! He's big & wide and well fed with a deep tail, but not got the panache the heifer last year had imo. Won't go hungry anyway! :D

    He wont be special but he'll be a valuable type

    Nice framed goldy! That's all you want in a mart to see some folks chomping at the bit to bid :D
    Blue for her next year, pull back her calving date a bit.

    Nice calf! Post his photos later, when he starts shaping up. No culards aroung here, so it's very interesting for me to see how they work in other places.

    Give him time, he could pass out last year's heifer yet. The breeding is in him. He'll be a different calf in 3months

    What's the cow by? Great bag of milk.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    I'll see him better in 3 weeks cause that's when the heifer started to come into her own. Either way i'm pleased with him & the cow cause he's not small.
    Cow is a Kilmoney Bruce blonde out of a pb Navarin cow. Only starting to look a proper cow now at 5.

    Yep, I was thinking the same. One year had a heifer born, which already was all round and muscled, turned into a fine girl. Next year her dam had a heifer from the same bull- plain, narrow, much smaller. But you were able to see how she started filling up in days. At a month age she was no worse looking than her sister. She grew into a nicer animal quickly.
