HERD HEALTH DECLARATION FORMS
Completed Herd

entries to the auctioneers, and the relevant data will be included in
the consignors index. If a herd health declaration form is not returned
then ‘NO HERD HEALTH DECLARATION’ will be printed in the consignors index.
BVD VACCINATION OF SALE CATTLE FROM 1st JANUARY 2011
Charolais members should be aware that ALL Charolais cattle forward
at BCCS auspices sales from 1st January 2011 are to be double vaccinated
against BVD (Bovine Viral Diarrhaea). For herds which are in a CHeCS
approved health scheme and are BVD accredited they do not have to be
BVD check tested, but must be fully BVD vaccinated.
For the herds which are not BVD accredited, then potential sale cattle should be BVD antigen tested negative, and given the first BVD vaccination on the same day as the blood test is taken. If the BVD antigen test is negative, the animals should then be given the second vaccination 3-4 weeks later.
IMPORTANT - Do not vaccinate cattle just prior to the sales as immunity to BVD will not have built up sufficiently.
CATTLE NOT FULLY VACCINATED FOR BVD WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY TO THE SALES
DNA
