Steers/heifers must be weaned and started on a light ration 28 days prior to delivery.  Steers/heifers must be free of warts, ringworm, and mange.  A veterinary statement on vaccinations must accompany cattle. Health rules will be strictly enforced.  Analysis of TCSCF data indicates calves vaccinated with Modified Live vaccines result in significantly reduced respiratory pulls in the feedlot as compared to calves vaccinated with killed vaccines.  We would suggest testing replacement heifers for BVD.
