[QUOTE="dod1e, post: 9252390, member: 85182"] We've been offered some grazing by a family member, but they've advised that we vaccinate for Blackleg. Having done some research I find this mostly affects beef breeds during high growth periods, and is triggered by low oxygen conditions in muscles activating the bacteria in question, so I'm wondering if our slow growing native breed cattle might be less at risk. I cant find anything online about the incidence of blackleg per breed other than it predominantly affects beef breeds 6 - 24 months old, when healthy and growing fast. Any thoughts or experiences welcomed. Thanks in advance. Dod [/QUOTE]
