[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1504387, member: 25884"] Although you may not see the purpose in the blackleg, it is EXTREMELY important. You can lose a calf in a matter of 24 hours from seeing it not feeling good, to blackleg. Since Mira never got her mothers colostrum, it is a small miracle that she has done as well as she has. Blackleg is caused by clostridial bacteria, happens quick and kills them quick. They pick it up from pastures, where the bacteria can proliferate fast after a rainy session. Cows will transfer a passive immunity to their calves that is good for 6-12 weeks but after that it is important that they get a booster. That is the ONE vaccine that we give FAITHFULLY when they go to pasture in the spring. We lost several NICE HEALTHY looking calves at one place one year, and that is what it was. It is cheap insurance against a dead calf. You can google blackleg disease and read about it from several sources. Good for your vet to insist on it. [/QUOTE]
