[QUOTE="redcoo235, post: 6650351, member: 41508"] If you have Johnes in the herd then it will be financially worth while doing it as you get animals away before they breakdown and become relatively worthless. If you don't and are just selling store/killing animals then maybe not worth the bother if you have no seen any cases in the herd. If selling breeding stock then most people now expect it as a matter of course as why would you risk buying in disease to a naïve herd. If you have a flying herd of a lot of bought in cattle from all over the place then not sure if there is much point as would struggle ever to get on top of it. Cost us (per 24 month+ animal) £4.60 for the test and think vet is £3 for taking blood sample. Think annual subscription for our health scheme is £90. [/QUOTE]
