Blackleg, a common disease of young cattle, is again spreading this fall in the district. Losses have been reported across several exposures, with diagnoses by the county agent. Unvaccinated cattle suffer about 4 percent mortality, while vaccination drops losses to about 0.4 percent. Thrifty young cattle under two years are most at risk.
The article explains blackleg in calves, its global occurrence, and how infections start from wounds. It emphasizes vaccination as the only lasting control, recommends six month old vaccination then every six months, and outlines pill and powder vaccine forms, with double vaccination preferred for purebred stock. It urges local ranchers in Big Horn County to vaccinate each spring and fall and avoid castration at vaccination time.</s>
