What size needle do you use to vaccinate my milking cow beef cow pig and chickens?
Cynthiac5
Size of the animal and age (which correlates with size) matters here. But I'll do my best. (g = gauge, not grams)
Beef cow: 14 g or 16 g needle, possibly 18 g (1" to 1.5")
Dairy cow: 16 or 18 g needle (1" to 1.5")
Pig: (I think) 14 g 1.5" needle (pigs have thick tough hide like cattle do)
Chickens: 25 g 3/4" to 1/2" needle (the smaller the better)
You're better off talking to a vet of what size needles are best for each animal.

Can you use a beef cow for a milking cow?
It's not recommended, especially if it's a breed that is not suitable for the demands of making as much milk as you want her to. For instance, beef cows like Hereford, Charolais, Black/Red Angus, Beef Shorthorn and various other breeds that are raised for the purpose of putting muscle on calves and not large udders should not be used. However, there are certain beef breeds that are in-fact dual-purpose breeds that can be used for milking. These include Red Polls, Dexters, South Devons, Gascons, Belmont Reds, Gloucesters and Lincoln Reds.
