[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7372927, member: 86168"] a question, we lost 2 animals to blackleg last night, something we rarely see, these were both out on kale, given the fact the kale is on our driest ground, and by being the driest, it would be fair to say it's had rather a lot of slurry/muck applied over the years, so, because we haven't ploughed it for several years, just tined p/h, does that mean it is a greater danger of picking up b/leg, by virtue of everything being 'on top', not turned over, and it is very muddy up there. Just a thought really, but we will be vaccinating all stock, in the next couple of days, double dose, 70p. And how many people routinely vaccinate cattle against it. At 70p, it should really be a no brainer, but, we lose an animal, start vaccinating, and it tails off, there was some vaccine in the back of the medicine cupboard, expiry date, 2011, so the last loss would have been before that ! To be fair, when we were all year calving, and buying groups of milkers, it was 'difficult' to keep up with batches of calves, and it drifts, now block calving, should be easier. We will be 'good' for a time, and then......... hope not though. [/QUOTE]
