I’m considering getting ordained. A little bit of help from him upstairs can’t help! 😂
Although the wife has pointed out I’m likely too burst into flames if I set foot in a church. 😉
I was told a story the other day of a sick calf and a vet came out and after treating it said “it’s in gods hands now” 😬😮
To which the farmer replied “may as well phone the knackers now then”

Been caught up in radial testing a few times now and that ends up with testing for six month intervals minimum 3 tests but can be up to 2 years to go from tb 1 to tb4 also requires pre movement testing
Welcome too my world. Been TB1HR for years now. We are in the Welsh buffer zone. 1/2 a mile as the crow flies is the border with Greater Manchester which is TB4!!

You might say that but the fact is anyone bringing cattle north from your end usually ends up with a fat lip and a lump on their nose
So your theory is bullshite
There is loads of farmers from your end taking cattle from the SW week in/ out and that is anything from baby calves to store cattle to breeding stock, are you really saying they all get a fat lip every week??

And as for risk, case after case where a dairy herd from a TB4 area that has not been tested for so long has spread TB infected cattle across the UK after being sold up, was there not one case about 3 years ago where cattle from one dairy herd went to something like 20 new farms? one cow from this herd was confirmed as a reactor after being shot on her new farm shortly after the sale, they done tracer tests on all the other cattle and about 90% of the farms that bought cattle from that TB4 herd sale had TB reactors??

Lurn something new everyday.

I knew you could find lesions at different parts of the body but never heard of it in the udder. My grandparents and uncles all drink raw milk from the tank as they hate bottled milk. Does make you think!

A few years ago we exported calves to Holland (?) from Worcs. area and they too were tested on arrival, failed and the infection was traced back to an old Holstein cow, whose high cell count milk was kept out of the tank.
High profile herd, if I remember correctly.

Rare, but not unheard of.
