    rotavec covers ecoli along with other things, give at least 3 weeks before calving, ensure calf get adequate biestings from treated cow for at least a week after birth... here i use rotavec corona, halocur, vecoxxan:rolleyes: but if it works its worth it

    If total calves < 20 then get total calves x 20
    Else you get 400

    As Whelan said Halocur is the only thing for crypto Van .
    Had my fair share of losses with that Crypto few years ago and Halocur was the only solution .
    If your cows are calving now your prob too late to use rotavec corona for the ecoli unless there spread out ???
    i think its between 3 weeks and 3 months of their due date is the vaccination time .

    I broke the glass / optic in mine last week trying to lift a beasts head (felt like a right charlie when I heard it crack!)

    Does anyone know if you can buy a new part or have I to buy a whole new gun? The local co-op where I bought it said I'd have to buy the whole thing. (Its not the hook type by the way)

    I send mine off to be serviced every now and again . It gets a fair bit of use in the summer at lambs .
    Hand it into the local Glanbia and they send them off for service and repairs . Usually get it back within a fortnight

    Dad sold 2 AZL BB bull weanlings in Castlerea yesterday. Had pics of them on the Livestock Photo thread a while back.
    1st one born March, 400kg - €1,165. €2.91/kilo
    2nd one born April, 370kg - €1,070. 2.89/kilo
    He was happy enough as they got hardly any nuts except for the last 2-3 weeks and as he said he would have to keep them a while and feed them well to get them up to €1,800. Wishing he had a few more like them to sell.

    if you dont have a hook drencher, dont wait for pictures, just go and buy one. one of the best investment I ever made, have our a good few years and put a huge volume of stuff through it and no problems and I constantly just leave it full of product. Just go get one

    I'm still waiting for the pics of the stokbord!!!! :D:p:D:p

    Ya it'I be bought. Just want to get a good one. I think they have the Prima tech ones (made in U.S. I think) in local place here

    Would you loose drench if you turned up hook or is there a valve in them or what bob?

    The gun itself is a prima tech 70ml one which your man told be is 65e by itself, he wanted 79e for the gun and the hook but I got it for 75. The hook itself is a fairly solid piece of equipment and the gun comes with a normal dosing nozzle and a nozzle for putting on pouron. I cant tell ye how good the gun is until I get to use it but your man made out they are one of the best of them.
