[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1073150, member: 18945"] Any injury, such as a bull butting them and causing a bruise or open wound certainly can trigger blackleg if the spores were already present in the muscle tissue. It doesn't take long once the bacteria becomes active to start producing the toxins that attack the muscles. Even sudden activity such as working them or physical stress related to weaning can trigger it. [/QUOTE]
