[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 7683395, member: 1819"] Bulk sampling milk isn't really much of a johnes status as it's just an indicator, if they are individually sampling that is different. Unless they are unvaccinated in-calf heifers or heifers just about to be turned away with a bull, that they are selling it's unlikely to matter for BVD. But it would be wreckless for a buyer to turn unvaccinated heifers that they'd just bought from a market straight out with a bull. Like you say they are vaccinated for Lepto and IBR, so the risks are minimal. That said, I wouldn't buy or sell breeding stock through an open market, but then I joined a cattle health accreditation scheme 20 years ago (when most folks laughed at such a crazy idea) so I take it pretty seriously.
