[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 883771, member: 12607"] Me. There's no incentive for me to vaccinate against brucellosis, financial or otherwise. I'm a veterinarian. I've not seen or known of a positive brucellosis case in the area in decades. The state and federal folks have sort of discouraged vaccination here for years - especially, in the days of Strain 19 vaccine, they spent more time chasing persistent titers in heifers vaccinated 'over-age' or pregnant - or both - than they did running down actual 'reactors'. I live in a brucellosis-free state. I'm a commercial producer, not producing 'breeding stock', per se. Any heifer I sell should be going to a feedlot, not somebody's breeding herd. Any adult cow I sell, whether bred or open, is gonna have to be blood-tested to cross a state line anyway, regardless of whether she was calfhood-vaccinated or not - unless she's going directly to slaughter.
