[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1778074, member: 25884"] We have lepto in the area also and some of the dairies that I test for vaccinate 2 and 3 times a year for it. We vaccinate the beef cattle and vibrio is one we also make sure they get. I get where you are coming from with her, but realize something else... since she has been open so long, and she is fat by your statement, the chances of her breeding are reduced AND the chances of her milking good if she does settle are greatly reduced as the fat gets into the udder and reduces her production ability. Taking your part of the blame is a good sign and that you have tried other things... but at this point, you might just want to cut your losses and start over. Maybe stick her with the neighbors bull... after you vaccinate her...and give her another chance.... but then cut your losses if she doesn't breed... OR if she does, make sure she does raise a good calf because the chance of reduced milk production is very real. [/QUOTE]
