The only injection that is recommended, that I’m aware of is the tuberculosis vaccine for heifers only. It’s not a law. It is enforced if your animal is participating in livestock shows or a sale. Other vaccines are also enforced in those types of situations. I’m in Texas, so this may change based on state. Rules are strict when transporting cattle across state lines. Your best bet for meat is to find a local butcher and a local rancher to ascertain what kind of vaccine schedule they use if any. Not everyone vaccinates their cattle, although most deworm them, think ivermectin.
Bangs vaccine for brucellosis. If they cross state lines. Otherwise most, not all, give a 5 way shortly after birth. Beyond that, some producers do more, depends on location too.
"BOVI-SHIELD GOLD® 5 is a modified-live virus used for the vaccination of healthy cattle to help prevent disease caused by infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus, bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) Types 1a, 1b, and 2 viruses, parainfluenza 3 (PI3) virus, and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV)."
Are various injections given to cattle by law doing this?
