[Mr Mackay]

Good luck with it - its horrible

 

[multi power]

Next in line to be dried off she was [emoji53] oh well could of been all 15 I suppose

 

[Moors Farmer]

Bad luck. I can empathise with the "last one" syndrome, too.

chin up

i got test on 22nd

were you clear before ?

standard or severe ?

 

[jimmer]

sorry just re-read op

ir's so severe interp

 

[Ducati899]

We were clear until these last IR's,right in the centre of the cull zone for Dorset and since it ended pretty much every dairy farm in a 4 mile radius has gone down,2 more neighbours yesterday...
Be interesting to see how the cull effects it over the next few years

that is the perfect situation though
get rid of the infected cows , and the infected wildlife at the same time
nothing left to infect the cows now so hopefully a rosy picture come summer for you

Awful bleedy situation, I don't know how all you fellas havnt turned into mass murderers, just simply ripping through stripeys and stripey sympathizers with a scythe!!
Luckily we have the native haggis up here, natural predator of the stripey!

during the cull i did notice the amount of stripey suicides at the roadside had dropped 100%

I know of a dairy farm with just under 2000 cattle, had been down 5 years, testing every 60 days, previous test was clear, this test was clear until the very last animal and it was a reactor!!

Know the feeling all to well, what's the process in England? One clear test or two, we had our clearing test reading on standard to severe yesterday

Two years ago we had one reactor and it was the first bloody animal through,didn't show anything when slaughtered though

I've got to have two clear tests now,although it's a pain it's not the end of the world at the moment as we had a good clear out of Hereford stores just before the annual test ( first time dads ever took my advice) so we're not pushed for space currently

One clear test when you have reactors in the previous test but they didnt have any lesions on kill..

I think they are changing this thou and it will be two clear tests ( which is what imo it should be )

 

[Ducati899]

Is there many areas that are still 4 years testing?

 

[crashbangwallop]

Dunno about areas south of the border, but all of haggisland is tb4 or longer as far as I know. Scotland is still officially tb clear

 

[Ducati899]

Long may it continue [emoji106]
