THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON QUESTION
⬇️⬇️⬇️
First off, I am not showing this person's name because I am not shaming them nor am I angry or offended. This potential beef customer asked a genuine question and it provides me with an opportunity to talk about our cattle health protocols.

Secondly, yes we do give our cattle routine immunizations to protect against a variety of illnesses and diseases including (but not limited to):

1) Anaplasmosis - this is tick-borne disease that causes weight loss, anemia and destroys the blood supply and is easily spread by flies. We live in the part of the country where it is widespread and nearly impossible to keep it out of your herd. Once they have it cattle can become lethargic, have difficulty standing/walking and also become aggressive. Once you've seen an animal succumb to anaplasmosis, you would never question why we v a c c for it.

2) Blackleg - thankfully this disease is not contagious however it is highly fatal, quite often in less than 48 hours. It's soil-borne with the infectious spores ingested during grazing on lush pastures and causes severe muscle necrosis.

3) Leptospirosis - this one can cause cattle to spontaneously lose their calves and other reproductive damages. It's a zoonotic disease so it can be spread from wildlife and rodents to cattle and some cattle may never show symptoms but still be affected.

4) Respiratory diseases (BRD, IBR, PI3) - respiratory diseases are the most common and also most costly diseases in the cattle industry. They can cause pneumonia, fever, reduced appetite, lethargy and a whole host of other symptoms. We manage these diseases with immunizations as well as having low-stress practices and high-quality nutrition, both of which help mitigate and decrease the instances (when used with a health program).

These are not the only immunizations we give our cattle but it's a good snapshot of a few. We implement these health protocols to help us raise healthy cattle - and healthy cattle yield safe beef.

You'll also notice there are no mRNA v a c c s on here and that's because **there are no mRNA immunizations for cattle.** If someone tells you otherwise, they are lying to you and trying to scare you.

Repeat. If someone tells you there are mRNA v a c c s for cattle they are lying to you and you should stop trusting them for your information. Additionally, mRNA is present in all of our bodies. Every single person reading this has billions of cells of mRNA coursing through our bodies and mRNA v a c c s don't alter the animal's genetics.

Lemme know your questions and thoughts! And BE NICE!!!!
