The Added Value Created By Vaccinating Your Calves At Branding And Weaning Is Money In Your Bank Account! When it’s time to process calves at branding and/or weaning, use one of the safest and best combination vaccines available.

“Super Poly-Bac B + IBRk & BVDk” is a one of a kind vaccine designed for immunizing calves against the major viral and bacterial causes of Bovine Respiratory Disease, all in a single product. It is a fully inactivated vaccine that minimizes the concerns sometimes associated with the use of modiﬁ ed live IBR and BVD vaccines while giving you additional protection against the deadly bacteria (Mannheimia, Pasteurella, Haemophi- lus) associated with “Shipping Fever” pneumonia.

Texas Vet Lab, Inc. also offers BVD-PI testing through our diagnostic laboratory. If elimination of persistently-infected BVD cattle is a priority in your health program, feel free to contact us at 1-800-284-8403. TEXAS VET LAB, INC. — SAN ANGELO, TEXAS USDA EST.

I do not own any stock in the company and have never worked for the company, though I wish I did on both counts. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell, only an item of interest which popped up. In a way it seemed like a big secret which should not be told. After hearing about it, I did some research and asked several people if they had ever heard of the company. Only three people confirmed that they had heard of it, and none of those claimed to know anything about it. Okay, what I’d heard about the company was second-hand information, but the source was better than the typical coffee shop variety. In the incident that was being related, it was not the main topic and merely a side note that the individual he had met claimed to be working for a company which owned more than 800,000 acres in West Texas. Having read and heard about many of the big spreads, I was curious, as I had never heard of what could be one of the largest ranches or landown- ers in the country. It was the fi rst time I heard of the Texas Pacifi c Land Trust. It’s not a secret, but most people have never heard of it even though it has been trading on the New York Stock Exchange for more than one hundred years with the symbol TPL. It all started with development of the railroads in the nineteenth century, when Texas gave land to the railroad companies as an incentive for putting in rail service. As prog- ress was made by the Texas Pacific Railroad, the state deeded land to the company. However, the land was not contiguous and was both scattered and “checker-boarded”, which was not conducive to ranching but more for future population development. Due to unfortunate circum- stances, the Texas Pacifi c Rail- road went bankrupt, which left the company with signifi cant debt to the bond holders who had financed the company. The legal settlement which occurred in the 1880s resulted in the formation of the Texas Pacifi c Land Trust, which was assigned the responsibility of selling more than two million acres of land and paying off the respective bond holders. Evidently, that much land must have flooded the real estate market. Rather than do a panic sale, the Trust decided to wait and sell the land in a more orderly fashion when the market was more favorable.
