[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 346498, member: 5917"] Alan this vet is better then the one that retired. The one that retired was always asking us, "What do you think it is," or "What do you think I should do?" That was not fun and that is why we never asked him about a vaccine program. Within the first death the new vet was out here for the next three days, even on his day off, trying to find the cause. Calving season has started here and to give you an idea of how big of an area he covers, alone, the fire company i belong to covers 250 square miles. Times that by four and you have an idea. This new vet is helping us set up a new vaccine program and with his advice and everybody who answered my call for help we are going to vaccs Bovi Shield 5 Gold and Virashield 6. I talked with our vet this morning, he was on the road heading out to a cow that was down, and tests came back clean except for the Pasturella and they also found other bacteria in the lung sample. He suspects that the cow was breathing hard from the pasturella and inhaled some other bacteria. Jeanne we walked through our herd everyday looking and listening for a cow that might be breathing heavy, but we never looked for a cow with a fever. His recommendation is to vaccinate this spring everything, cows, calves, and yearlings, before we turn them out with the bull, preferably a month before. He did recommend this in November when he Bangsed the replacements. We just never thought that this would happen. Thank you everyone who wrote in and passed on their knowledge. It has been very educational and I will keep coming back to this site and "pick" your brains. As my grandfather told me, you never quit learning. [/QUOTE]
