More vaccinations

Michael and Kari came by today and we vaccinated the last-born calf and his mother.  It went well.  The calf was laying and Michael and I were able to get on him and hold him still so Kari could administer the vaccine.  So we didn't have to herd the calf into the calf table.

The mother wasn't too bad to herd into the loading corral.  We did have to go around twice to het her into there.  The cow ran up the loading corral runway fast enough that the head gate shut and locked the cow in place.  No back and forth as what sometimes happens when the cow doesn't run fast enough. She got vaccinated also.  Both cow and calf also got the ivermectin poured on their back to help prevent other insect problems.

Now in three weeks to a month the cows and calves get their second vaccine shot and then we are done for the year.

When the cow was in the head gate, and Kari was preparing to give the vaccine shot, I went and got my camera.  She was done by the time I returned and Michael just finished pouring the ivermectin on the cow when I took the photo.

All done.
