[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 743373, member: 8192"] Yes, that's all spot on, thanks TeamDR. Years ago we didnt think of 3-day as a fatal disease either Keren, but things have changed bigtime. We vaccinate some of the bulls but they need two injections a few weeks apart, every year. It is impossible to do our whole herd. They're trying to develop a vaccine now which lasts about three years - like they have for botulism. My heifer was no better this morning so it looks like we're in for the long haul with her. Will trundle all the way down there with a tractor later and put her on the toyota and cart her home. The calf has gone. Hopefully it'll get a suck on something else until its big enough to "cook for itself". Luckily the mother is quite grateful for any assistance rendered. She's got a good dash of brahman in her (but mostly char) and you never know which way they'll react to pressure. I don't think 3-day is likely to appear in your cold country Hillsdown! [/QUOTE]
