[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 785248, member: 55"] We had not had any for over 9 years until this year. There were outbreaks everywhere around here, some of the best managed farms had it along with ones that just turn cows out and let them fend for themselves. Ours are vaccinated every spring, feed fly mineral, keep up fly rubs and spray them. We still got it, the vets sent cultures off and it was a strain not normally seen in cattle so the normal vaccine was useless. I wish I knew what I could have done differently to prevent it for some of my best cows and bull got it. Nothing I was going to cull this year got it or the older cows, so it mkaes you wonder if they had a resistance. I probably could have done more spraying but otherwise I don't know how I could have managed much better. [/QUOTE]
