That dairy farmer told me never touch a dead calf, because you didnt know what it had died of.
Hopefully it's the modern treatments that make the difference, best of luck!

You're stuck with lepto for life if you get it, can go away for years and then come back and often leaves people with bouts of extreme lethargia, persistent coughs etc.

Ive ticked like on @Ryan_Songhurst post as though I dont actually like it, its true and nothings going to change that. Weve reared calfs for years and this has been the first year weve needed to go to sales to get our numbers. Guess not all farmers vaccinate.
