Are calves in the Maverick System vaccinated for Brucellosis, which is a disease that causes abortion in cattle?
ANSWER – No. This vaccine can only be administered by a Federal veterinarian to breeding age females and is not used in cattle that are destined for Maverick Ranch Beef. However some fast food hamburger and some other ground beef is made from culled breeding cows that have been vaccinated. Maverick Ranch does not permit mature cow beef or bull beef in our system.
