[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1472575, member: 968"] I did read it all: "The other source of BVD within a herd is acutely infected cattle. Animals with acute, transient infections can spread BVD to other cattle, but they shed virus at a much lower level and for [b][u]a shorter period of time than PI animals[/u][/b]." Unless I am reading this all wrong: Acutely infected is not common and it is a shed-er for a much shorter time. A PI is for life - which normally is not a long life. I am definitely not arguing about non-vaccinated cattle getting sick. Totally agree. I believe Ken & I are just trying to clarify that an animal, at any age other than fetus, can get sick, but are not shed-ers for life. A vaccinated animal can get sick with the disease you vaccinate against, but GENERALLY they are able to respond to treatment and recover quickly. [/QUOTE]
