I use Ultra Choice 8 and give the first dose at branding. The oldest of those calves this year was three months. The youngest one was still wet.

Calves vaccinated prior to 3 months of age should be revaccinated at 4-6 months of age or at weaning.

Usually at about a month, when they get their other shots, or when they go to pasture, even if they are younger at that time. They get a booster at weaning. Cool
