    Any recommendations for a good brand of syringe/needle system for anything from calves to cows?

    We get our Vet to order in Kruuse needles (aluminium luer lock) for us. I think there are 100 needles in each box - 1.6 x 25mm for calves/weanlings and 1.8 x 38mm (?) for older cattle. We buy disposable plastic syringes 10/20/25ml from our Vet.

    I just pick up a selection whatever they have in the local co-op. Haven't a clue what brand they are, but they're fairly cheap disposable ones. They do the job fine. When I'm buying vaccines and anything else injectable, they usually throw in a few needles and syringes too.

    I prefer center point syringes as opposed to the ones that are offset. IMO center points are stronger and less lightly to break if an animals moves in the crush.
