Alot of silly ex-town dwellers around here have bought farms and are doing feck all with the ground and the ground is looking dreadful but swarming with various pests and weeds besides a few free range sheep that are never seen or cared for by worming , docking or shearing and often in breeding and with serious numbers of dead ones lieing about but these often are professional people including a doctor.I believe, as with most other people on here, that badgers are to blame for tb, on our 200 acre farm we have 18 setts, and as in a cull zone, we have lost a lot of badgers, however, most of those setts are now reoccupied, where the hell did they come from? does this mean we are more likely to go down with tb, as these 'new' badgers are infected? up to now we have been clean.
however, what could we all do, if heaven forbid, the badgers are proved not to be the cause ? personally I think the best way forward is to test the latrines, and take out the infected ones, thereby leaving a clean population.
Thanks. I had a second time IR on Friday so that will be off thenNot heard anything yet. I was told it'll be Monday at the earliest before APHA make contact and she'll probably go late this coming week.

Yes I understand all that, my point was merely that there is a good chance of a clear test next timeEven with an NVL, no culture reactor, restrictions will not be lifted until a C & D form (TB5?) has been filed.
You sprayed FAM 30 at the recommended dilution rate around the isolation pen didn’t you? Of course you did.
It’s all paperwork.
Wife mentioned that there was a mention of TB appearing in cats and dogs recently in the vet world-cattle in the pet food chain? Public support for ye olde humbug would collapse pretty quick if that got out.
it was a 'high end' gormet cat food that contained raw venison from TB infected deer.Wife mentioned that there was a mention of TB appearing in cats and dogs recently in the vet world-cattle in the pet food chain? Public support for ye olde humbug would collapse pretty quick if that got out.
Does anybody apart from me think live badgers are being released on there farms, im bloody convinced its happening. I have always known that town foxes have been dropped off around me and i even had a women call in with a mouse she didnt want to harm but releasing tb spreading badgers is going to get somebody hurt, believe me these badgers are not living happy ever after either. Have any pro badger groups been caught or suspected of it?
Of course they are, at various levels, some probably assume they are helping, others will be well aware of the concequncesDoes anybody apart from me think live badgers are being released on there farms, im bloody convinced its happening.

I don not understand how the H&S indspections allow people to handle animals where there TB status is unknown AND they are more likely to be infected with TB than almost anything else you are liekly to encounter in the countryside.For these berluddy so-called ‘sanctuaries’ they are a neither. Baby badgers are a lucrative source of income. End of.

Who is checking the H&S risk assessments?
I would love to ask their insurance companies to validate the prevention of harm to employees.....
Herd test today. Another IR to retest in 60 days. (Yes, I know, but our paperwork said STANDARD INTERPRETATION and the vet queried it 3 ways ). Apart from 2 postal delivers of paperwork I've had NO APHA contact except that I've initiated so far, 11 weeks after our first IR and 4 weeks after our repeat one. We have not been allocated a case officer yet either.
