Badger vaccine pilot planned by National Trust in Devon

The National Trust is to vaccinate badgers against TB this summer in a bid to curb the disease in cattle - the first UK landowner to do so.
The trust hopes its £320,000, four-year project on Devon's Killerton estate will make the case for vaccination as an alternative to culling.
Cattle (or bovine) tuberculosis costs the UK about £100m each year.

Let us hope this does prove a viable alternative..
I'm wondering why there is as yet no vaccine for cows which would be far more convenient and less costly to implement.
Sadly though

The government is set to approve badger culling in England soon, and the Welsh Assembly Government also plans a cull
