pre movement tb test

[7810s]

I purchased some cattle back in july that had been pre movement tb tested from market. They have eaten down the grass quicker than expected!
If I sell the cattle next week they will still be within the 60 day testing period. Would it be ok to sell them? or do I need to wait and test them again?

I would have thought you'd be fine..usual window is 60 days from jab.
Mind, some buyers shy away from beasts near to end date for onward movement reasons

Perfectly ok to sell them, are you expecting them to get profit in the short time you have had them?

It will depend when they were tested, they may have been tested late May and sent to market at day 45 lets say, that puts you well over 60 days

Probably not, but not sure by keeping any longer will gain me anything.

They were tested on July 20th.

I’m no expert but I’d say you’ve got 10 days to move them
