I wouldn't trim their feet until they kid. It puts a lot of strain on them to stand on three legs while heavily bred.

We give CD/T within 4 weeks of kidding. They need an annual booster anyway, plus it passes temporary immunity to the kids. That should cover them until they are ready for their own Cd/T.

That's the only regular vaccine we give.

I'd also wait on the worming, but worm the does right after they kid. Same day, if you can manage it. The stress of kidding makes them vulnerable.
