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.

Williamson told the group that in the past, male soldiers have always made the decision about what the female soldier’s uniform should be. This time, however, for the fi rst time ever, an all-female uniform board was appointed to make the decisions about what their new uniform should be. The board’s fi nal decision was that they wanted a uniform exactly like the male soldier’s uniform – “same pants, same jacket, same necktie, same hat, same shoes, same everything,” Williamson stated. Female soldiers will be able to purchase the skirt as an optional item. Finally Williamson pointed out that going with one uniform for both male and female soldiers will save the Army quite a lot of money.

American Water Surveyors uses seismoelectric survey instruments that are designed specifi cally to detect electrical signals generated by the passage of seismic impulses through layered rocks, sediments and soils. The design of our surveying equipment is portable and effective. In the past the only option to fi nd groundwater has been by drilling, often with a water witch, picking the spot to drill — and that can be costly if your result is a dry well. Now there’s a better way, using science and physics. If you’re a farmer, rancher, home owner or developer contact American Water Surveyors today to fi nd out more about our very affordable service. Since 2007 American Water Surveyors has conducted over 700 surveys in 22 states: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Iowa, Utah, Montana, Kansas, Nebraska, Kentucky, Colorado, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennes- see, South Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia, Maryland and Wyoming.
