Vaccinations: Very inexpensive (to ensure cattle health). Backhoes: Very expensive (to dig hole and bury an animal). We vaccinate everything twice a year, spring and fall. Including injectible de-wormers and insecticide ear tags for external flies and parasites. Of course, Vet only authorized Brucellosis vaccinations too (State/Federal Law). Clean quarters, uncrowded pens and areas, quality stock to begin with, quality hay, salt, minerals, and water. "Ounce of Prevention = Pound of Cure." Any new stock brought into our place is isolated and watched for a while prior to integrating with our existing herd. Any out-of-state arrivals must have Vet's Health Certificate and Negative TB test. We also wash out our trailers after any haul we do.
 
Try state law for Brucellosis vaccinations not feds

Thanks for input. Know State Law applies; however, since Brucellosis (Brucella abortus) is a very serious disease entity with National and international implications (milk from cows infected with brucellosis can cause undulant fever in humans). Thus, the "State & Federal" comment on my post.
