[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10985"] Another problem with sale barn cattle...usually penned in marginal sanitation conditions, new bunch every week, no health documentation usually, (except in Texas they are tested at barn for Brucellosis)... most of the sale barns I've visited out of curiosity (never bought anything at one) did not clean or wash down the pens and equipement after a batch was sold that day... contaminated manure, equipment, etc. (It's like human picking up some illness at a school or institution or hospital waiting room or dog kennel). Incidentally, Longhorn cattle are virtually immune to pinkeye and some other common diseases--but still need their 2x year routine vaccinations and regularly de-worming just like other cattle...
