Wow now there’s a lack of understanding right there !
Just because an animal whom fails a skin test doesnt have lesions does not mean she didn’t have Tb. I am far more worried about the 20% the test doesn’t find.
I'm in a 4 year testing area. I had 8 fail skin test, none had lesions, and cultured clear. Retest 60 days later, 6 failed skin, again no lesions and cultures clear. Retest recently had 1 fail the skin test, just had word back to say no lesions, so waiting for cultures now.

So been closed down since April and not had any sign of TB yet.

Just a bloody useless skin test.

No it just means the cows have been caught early btu the test you should be grateful. I started off with your thoughts exactly. It Wasn’t until we actually had one with lesions that the reality of the situation took hold. You don’t want lesions.

But the cultures have all shown there to be no TB present so far. Does that not mean it's not there?
