A total of 140 calves were vaccinated at 52 farms on one and a half days. The largest number of calves done at one farm was at John Anderson’s where 18 were vac- cinated.

Douglas Rennie, on see- ing us in the area brought his calf out to the roadside and the vet had only to step out of his car to vaccinate the calf.
