[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 628711, member: 9"] [u]I'd definitely keep your cattle a distance from neighbor's fence! [/u] That many cattle dead in short time with rapid onset of symptoms and death. What part of the country are you located??? IF it is anthrax, bad news... Dead ones must be disposed of, burned and remains buried. There have been some suspected cases in extreme South central Texas the past year, near the border. Wild ruminants can acquire anthrax and contaminate or pass on to domestic cattle. If the Vets haven't a clue...somethings amiss. I'd definitely suspect something amiss ANYTIME an animal (especially several, many) dies for strange, rapid onset reasons. Definitely reason for postmortem. Until a diagnosis is made, DO NOT touch any carcass without using disposable gloves and protection on your boots. IF it turns out to be blackleg (even before diagnosis is made), I'd definitely booster your own cattle with a vaccine for clostridium species (e.g., Ultrabac 7 or Covexin 8 ). Keep us posted on what you find out!! [/QUOTE]
