The Navarre Government wants to vaccinate all the cows, bulls and calves, and the sector has also been in favour of this, while in the CSC several farmers have been opposed to the fact that, if vaccinated, it would have an impact on the economic value of meat, but in the event of a single case, it would have sacrificed all the cattle on the farm.
