The replacement heifers were vaccinated for Brucellosis today and identified as such by placing a tattoo in their ear. This is a disease they can get from other cattle, wildlife or people that causes their calf to die before it is born. This disease is nearly eradicated in the U.S. but has health concerns for people who can get it from cattle as well. They were also vaccinated against 10 other diseases in a combination to keep them healthy while producing beef to keep us healthy for many years to come.
