[QUOTE="ohiosteve, post: 1094605, member: 17303"] I agree with you 100% if you are dependent on your cattle as income. I lost several calves and fresh heifers to blackleg/clostridium in 1999 out of a dairy herd I bought that was way behind on vaccinations. It was the main reason I decided to get out of the dairy business. But on the other side of it since I have a good job paying the bills now and I've bought a new place that never had cattle on it and I only have a handfull of cows calving each year I am not worried about vaccinating at all and I am taking full advantage of the stress free cattle and taking full advantage of the premium some folks will pay for 100% natural beef. I hear about how grass finished beef (especially longhorn) is tough and tastes bad, but quite frankly I don't give a crap as long as it's putting dollars in my pocket. If I have another blackleg/clotridium problem I will deal with it but until then I'm going to keep my low maintenence hands off approach going. I'm even thinking about getting some cool sunglasses and a sweet cowboy hat. [/QUOTE]
