McCARTY County Extension Agent Ages of vaccination for bru cellosis for both beef and dairy eaives in Oregon is now three to eight months of age. This new age for vaccinations has I "- i yievcnr vatunaiuu animals showing up as reactors or suspects when tested for bru cellosis because they still carry the vaccination titre. The change is important because of the new federal testing age of months tor beet cattle and 18 months for dairy cattle. The new regulations also re quire two clean blood tests of all eligible cattle in a beef herd during a period of not less than 60 days or more than 6 months after removal of brucellosis re actors before the herd is declar ed bucellosis free, Those operators who turn cat tle out before all calves are tnree months old and aren't gathered again before some are eight months old may have to mane a decision concerninc vaccinating neiiers.
