[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 167345, member: 440"] Wow. I can't believe that anyone would want to jeopardize their herd by not at least giving the basic vaccinations. Even my grand father who was a real old timer and was raised on moonshine and tobacco gave black leg shots. It's just too much of a loss to go out have a big, nice yearling down and there's nothing you can do once it hits. As far as vaccinations go we have to do the official calf hood vaccinations to be able to take our cattle to shows and to consignment sales out of state. I also wouldn't want to miss worming my cattle-we pour on twice a year and also put out safe guard worm blocks in between. As a matter of fact we just put out ten blocks a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't want to be neighbors with some of these folks who don't black leg their cattle. My vet says that the dormant bacteria can live in the soil for forty years and once the right conditions hit there it is. This happened to my dad two years ago. They hadn't had a case of black leg since before I was born and all of a sudden it hit three of his calves-these were five to six months old and still nursing. He wasn't going to black leg vaccinate them as he was about to pull them pull them off the cows and ship them. He is diligent about the shots now. [/QUOTE]
