Do you reckon that’ll come east to Indiana or is it just something that’ll stay in the south
For a few cents more I would just start using it anywhere in the Midwest (or United States)!
One dead animal pays for a lot of vaccines.
Wake up to 5 or 6 or 10 dead bovine and you will be sick to your stomach.
I think the Vet says it is spores in the soil, but somehow got airborne. He thinks when a huge power line came through and they were digging 50+ feet deep holes for the metal pole foundations they unearthed it.
Trouble started about the same time. Pure speculation though. We will never know for sure.
Vet suspected ground zero (first problems with it) was about 25 miles from us. We were probably 2nd or 3rd with problems in the vets territory.
Was talking to a gentleman yesterday whose Dad had just lost one. 4 year old. Been vaccinated multiple times in it's life. Buzzards all around it but they won't eat it. (That's the tell tale sign is when nothing will eat it!). Couldn't understand why it died. I mentioned the vaccine is only 99% effective. So out of 100 head, one will still die. (Don't ask me how I know!)
I asked the vet the other day if he was still seeing problems. He said only with the guys that have never vaccinated for it. Guys a county or 2 away and didn't really believe it or hadn't see any trouble. It is the Show-Me State!
