[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 748849, member: 12607"] I used to be of the opinion that if a calf got at least one blackleg/malignant edema shot sometime after they were 3-4 months of age, they were 'good for life'. But, over the years, I've seen enough adult cows with a good history of calfhood vaccination dead of blackleg, that I spend the small amount of $$ to re-vaccinate my adult cow herd every couple of years. It's cheap insurance. KT, my dad & uncle never vaccinated anything when I was a kid - but one year we lost about half the calf crop to blackleg - and we never missed vaccinating after that. It's too costly to stick to the 'old ways' on that point. I had to tell a producer yesterday - "Just because you've been doing it that way all your life, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do."
