Northern Cattle Compass

Absolutely sad to hear this has happened to Geoff and it just shows that with vaccination you can help protect not only yourself, but your family and workers too.

Leptospirosis is a horrific disease that can have lifelong impacts on human health, yet it’s still often overlooked in northern cattle systems.

Prevention through vaccination is one of the simplest and most cost-effective tools we have available. Sometimes it’s easy to focus only on livestock performance, but protecting the people working alongside them is just as important.
