I am new to beef cattle (swapping from horse breeding) and have a small closed herd. What are the minimum vaccinations needed prior to delivery? Since my herd is closed and I would like to stay as close to organic as I can do we need any at all?

I have a fairly large closed herd. My pastures are in remote areas, and our cattle have no pasture to pasture contact with other cattle. I bring in new bloodlines only through AI, and don't vaccinate my cows for anything at all. Been doing this since the early 1980's, and no problems so far.

I'm going to be vaccinating for rabies, which we do have in my area.

Thank-you all for the wisdom. Since this is my first calf crop I am probably overthinking more than I should :/
