probally CLA thats another nasty lurking about thats more common than you thinkSaw some store lambs in Market back along...a few had lumpy jaws etc etc...someone said at the time the farmer was clearing his sheep due to MV...Exeter...
I think it would be more of a problem in low ground flocks for some reason, I’ve never heard of it in any hill breeds.So this mv sounds very serious, so how big of a problem is it out there? Common rare?
Just dropped the lot off at the English winter fair at Stafford show ground
single lamb being sold for charity for rabi
Pair of lambs at 80kg
And a pair of lambs at 90kg
Anybody care too predict prices on Sunday?
Sorry I know tb was yesterdays off topic conversation but it really pisses me off that they aren't actually doing anything about it. I could tell you who is responsible for tb in our area stop the irresponsible f**ktard trading and it would stop.TB is getting much worse here in Wales to the point it's getting out of hand so it wouldn't surprise me if guth was right about the raw milk story they seem pretty desperate to stop it but won't actually do anything worthwhile about it. Just more and more testing. I know someone who had to test his wife's pet goat recently.
We've gone to 6 month testing now. Getting closer all the time and all they do is test more. Nothing is actually being done to stop it apart from more testing.
My dad says his grandparents could name several families who had lost people, mainly children, to TB. Including one family who lost all 8 kids after their parents bought a house cow who was infected with TB. People who are f**king about wanting more testing but not actually doing anything to help would do well to hear some of those stories.
Unfortunately I help pen sheep at the fair so have too thereWill we have to let you know. You do not hang round for sales do you.
