you cannot stop it... you can not prevent it. you can not treat it.
feed is good for deer that eat it.. not all deer eat it...
the feed is an antibiotic ... so you need multiple doses each day to make sure it works..
get all deer to come to a feeder every day for 15 days straight...
its not going to happen

Tt our rancher this afternoon. We lost a few deer and he believes it is done at our place. He lost a few sheep that missed vaccinations but no cattle. We actually lose a few deer every year due to anthrax. We had been trying to get our herd back to manageable numbers and this is not how I wanted to do it. Keep the updates coming! Btw we are 40 mi south of Sonora and got completely wiped out in 1999-2000.

I only ask because I am curious. You may be way more versed than me on the subject and I might learn something new.

We got his the same year. We came back pretty good, but it took awhile. We are between Sheffield and Pumpville. I was out there this past weekend and didn't see any dead deer. No smell of rotting animals anywhere, so I hope we've made it unscathed.
