The show was the third segment ha the Four Great Shows for Children.( photo by Dave Sykes) Farmers should not ignore vaccinating cattle For the beef cow -calf operator who has his cows calving on grass in May and June, it isn't too late to consider vaccination for scours. Vicogen, a bacterin for control of bacterial scours can be administered to the cow. First time treatment should be done six weeks and again at three weeks prior to calving. Immunity is passed on to the calf through the cow's milk. Once a cow or heifer has been vaccinated one vaccination each year suffices. I caution producers not to let up on good management practices simply because they have vaccinated. If your cows have already calved, good scour control products are available through your veterinarian. When ear tagging calves for identification, you can ear tag for flies with either Bovaid or a new Diamond Shamrock brand Or tag. Each have an insecticide to control horn and fac flies up to five months. Ralgro, an ear implant, will give 25 pounds extra gains at weaning time. Calves can be done from day old and should be re -implanted at about 100 days. It is not recommended to implant calves intended to be kept for breeding stock. An injection of Vitamin A.D.E. and selenium will also help the calf off to a good start. - Stan Paquette, Associate Agricultural Representative. Insecticides are toxic Rootworm insecticides are the most deadly (dangerous) products that you handle on your farm. You can hold enough on one finger to kill most grown adults. Last year there were some very sad and expensive experiences with corn rootworm insecticides. As you remember, livestock were accidentally fed an insecticide. All of these insecticides have to be stored far away from livestock, food etc. In fact, all pesticides are supposed to be stored in locked ventilated pesticide storage rooms. If this was done, we would have fewer accidents. I think the pesticide suppliers have a good rule. They don't house livestock in their pesticide warehouses. For the same reason, you should not store pesticides near livestock. - Recently, Neil Greer, a pesticide retailer in the Gowanstown area, called me. Neil said that one of his customers had told him that he heard one of the corn rootworm insecticides was really safe. Neil said "I thought they were all very dangerous to handle. Arn I wrong? Is there one that is.. really safe?" I assured Neil that he was right. There is a lot of talk about differences in safety levels. But, I suggested to Neil, "Is it safer to give a child a loaded .22 pistol or a sub -machine gun?" Nell laughed and said, "Yeah, it's like someone told me. If you. fall from the top of a 40 foot silo, is it safer than falling from a 100 foot silo?" Same with insecticides. None of them are so safe that you can handle them carelessly. By . the way, the purple stuff that you put on the corn and bean seed (DL+ or B-3) are both toxic as well. If you are mixing or handling seed, don't get that stuff on your skin. I cringe when I see far- mers with purple hands at planting. I jokingly ask them if they have their life in- surance paid up. - Pat Lynch, Soil & Crop Specialist and John Heard, Assistant Agricultural Representative Chemical safety Many agricultural pesticides can be extremely hazardous if handled im- properly. Take time to read label directions carefully. Use rubber gloves, goggles dispose of empty chemical and respirators, if required. containers with care.
