[QUOTE="NoParticularPattern, post: 7423577, member: 50622"] We were unvaccinated and naive to BVD too. Brought one fresh heifer in from a neighbour as a bit of a favour and it spread through them like you’ve never seen. We tested everything, shot the PIs as soon as we found them- we shot 20 in a day once, strong looking creatures too- and have vaccinated ever since. We lost a few ailing cows because of it but they would likely have been finished off by anything I suspect. Pneumonia losses were eyewatering and led to us also vaccinating for IBR in the end. We were incredibly lucky that we found it early (I say we, I mean I. I’m taking the credit since I did the testing, the paperwork and the standing around watching them shoot PIs one after the other for weeks and weeks on end). We never had a PI make it off this farm into the heifers or back here to the main herd otherwise we would have been in a whole world of bother. We’ve been a completely closed herd ever since (as we always sodding were until that fateful favour!!). [/QUOTE]
