[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 346235, member: 1819"] So are you saying that the TB skin test is a good and accurate test and is a good indicator of the levels of TB in the area? Do you suggest that buying from TB1 areas and doing extra testing is as low risk as buying from a TB4? Would you be happy to import a beast from a country that has officially got problems with a disease that you are clear of when there are alternatives? Anyone that I know in Scotland that has found reactors have brought cattle in from hotspots. I'm from NI and I know how many herds are shut and I know what it's like to bring cattle in every two months for testing, and I aint wanting to go back to that method of wasting of time. I know of no other way of attempting to keep the disease to a minimum other than buying from areas where there is less TB than others. No point in risking it when there are plenty of cattle from clean areas. [/QUOTE]
