The importance of vaccines

To vaccinate or not is a big debate. Even if you’re a closed herd, there are things in the environment your cattle can be exposed to and you will have consequences to deal with if they are not immune to it.

Combination vaccines can cover several diseases including black leg, tetanus, pink eye, respiratory diseases and more.

We can’t protect our cattle from all disease with vaccines, but we can avoid many of them and therefore eliminate heartache and loss.

Cause & Prevention of Black Leg

There have been some reports of cattle dying from Blackleg recently. Blackleg is one of a group of usually fatal infections in young calves and lambs caused by bacteria called the Clostridials. These bacteria are coated with a protective shell or spore that protects them and allows them to be potentially infective in the soil and dangerous to livestock for a very long time.
