    First thing I would give them is a fluke dose this time of year. Make sure it's one that covers immature fluke.
    Other than that maybe a worm dose of some kind.
    Personally I prefer pour on or injectable over drenches as I find them easier to give. Cattle have some power in the head if you don't have a head scoop.
    Other than that some lads ( and lassies) swear by different mineral doses but I don't bother unless ones not thriving.
    Oh yeah a clostridial vaccine might be a good idea. One gets black leg and he'll bedead bbefore you see him.
