[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 594325, member: 852"] I'm having a hard time imagining bulls are going to respond that differently to a vaccine than a cow would. As to strain-19, I'm actually not sure if it's still legal/available for use in the U.S. I would imagine it would provide more protection to use it as well. That reminds me; the state vet also said that RB51 (as standardly administered - one dose) is only effective 50-60% of the time. The reason my area of the country has so much trouble with brucellosis is because the elk and bison carry it, and the high risk areas are the areas where people are feeding elk near cattle. The state vet said they're also vaccinating the elk in an effort to keep the brucellosis problem under control. [/QUOTE]
