Here in Wales the Assembly Government decided not to cull badgers and instead opt for more frequent testing of cattle to quickly identify problem farms and vaccinate badgers against TB. Currently, we can't vaccinate cattle due to EU legislation. Vaccination means that tests can't easily distinguish between vaccinated cattle and those which actually have TB. However, a quick Google suggests that vaccination trials may take place. I'm sure farmers would prefer that than having to slaughter their animals, though as you say, some farmers just like to look for an easy scapegoat.
