[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1840392, member: 5381"] Lepto. It doesn't have to come from new cattle. It can come from hogs, deer dogs and other varmints. Since our cows get in a pond, they can get it from there. I had one in late summer and another one a few weeks ago. The calf in late summer was fully developed but only the size of a poodle. The one a few weeks ago was the correct size for age but had no hair. Neither cow bagged up or showed any sign of being ready to calve. I gathered that carcass and pulled a blood sample from the cow and took them to a vet who sent them to get tested. The cow tested positive for Lepto even though she had been vaccinated for it. I have had about 30 live healthy calves between the first and the second but it is present in my herd. Surprisingly the testing was done at Texas A & M was not very expensive. My total bill was less than $150. [/QUOTE]
