SLEE: On 2 Sept 2015, a producer reported that he weaned around 550 spring born calves weighing around 650 pounds between 8 Aug 2015 and 18 Aug 2015. The calves were vaccinated with Vista Once, Cavalry 9, treated with Safeguard 10% Suspension, poured with Ultra Saber and implanted with Revalor G at that time. 12-15 days after weaning, they had some respiratory pulls and have pulled and treated 31 head with 3 ml / 100 pounds Baytril for 3 days in a row. 6 head have died-no necropsies or diagnostic work has been done. The calves had been vaccinated in the spring with ViraShield 6 and Covexin 8. No further follow up expected.
