[QUOTE="jasrnch, post: 720918, member: 7972"] Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming were all Free states for a long time before we started having our problems. I'm a commercial producer also, But when I want to expand I would never go to a seedstock producer to get cows. I would go to another commercial producer. Where that producer built that herd from may not be known. I understand thinking that my calves are probably going to slaughter. But as I have learned some of them may not. When I was assembling my herd I almost went farther east than Wisconsin. Because the price difference of cattle at that time made it worth it. Now I'm glad I didn't. If your not vaccinating, I couldn't have brought any of them into Wyoming no matter how good they were. Since having the brucellosis problems has made me sit back and look at all of my procedures. The best way to prevent a problem is through preventative maintenance, not ignoring the problem that doesn't exist yet. I agree with Bill in everything. To think that all of your heifers would go to slaughter, is a naive thought. There have been more than one feeder that has turned around and sold heifers. These heifer have later ended up in cow herds as unvaccinates. This is the reason that some of our salebarns have started vaccinating all heifers being sold. [/QUOTE]
