by the next test, guessing most of our big stores will be gone through orange market, but hopefully will have a big bunch of blue calves to sell and would be nice not to have to test every 60 days too.

tried to get TB2 lifted but vets to slow getting it in:banghead: as have arttic booked for Saturday.
We got testing vets and APHA all warned in advance we wanted TB2 lifted asap if/when we tested clear as it was Sat before Xmas and calves that we needed to sell on Tues market as overstocked would start going over 42 days if there was any delay. No way were we paying for a pre-movement test! Test results were done on laptop on farm over a coffee at end of readings, we texted our APHA case vet to make sure she knew we had passed and APHA paperwork arrived next working day! We had 'accidentally' tested a few calves that would be 42d the day before the market too.
