[QUOTE="rkm, post: 508402, member: 2727"] When we started dairying in the sixties, we bought some bred heifers from a cattle dealer in Ohio. It turns out that although they had clean health papers they were not vac. for bangs. We found out we had bangs through the milk ring test. What a mess! We could not buy or sell any cattle, [any cattle that was sold had a big red B painted on their heads by the state vet]. Cattle that we had just paid $800 for was being sold for $25 to $50 because if they had a red B on them they had to go to gov inspected slaughter houses and their was only one who purchased cattle at our local sale barn. The state vet pulled blood on every cow every month for over two years before we had 6 months without a pos or suspect titer. We culled every cow that had a high titer [half our herd] until we were determined bangs free. If you vac. after 8 months of age you run the risk of having a high titer. Today with most states being bangs free we do not vac. [/QUOTE]
