Q

provide a reason we may not vaccinate for a disease in cattle even though it has a high mortality rate

A

-if there’s low risk in the herd
-pregnancy status
-shedding into the environment
*you don’t have to vaccinate for everything so think if the herd is even going to come into contact with a disease in the first place
