Best Answer

NO. Equine serum is for equines only, not bovines. Calves are bovines, not equines. Calves must be vaccinated with product approved for cattle, not horses. It's fine if there's a vaccine that is approved for both cattle and horses, but not just horses.

Breed has very little to do with what vaccinations a beef calf should get. This all depends on your location, herd health and history of any diseases or illnesses that have inflicted your area or farm, and what you think is necessary for that calf based on what his mother did or didn't get vaccinated with when she was pregnant with him/her. Please talk to your local large-animal veterinarian for more information.
