We are in a TB4 area that is now an official TB Hotspot. This means we are now on yearly testing and premovement testing, however we still need to do the standstill for incoming cattle for 60-120 days. We are currently buying in rearing calves from one farm in TB1 area before 42 days and they calve all year. Basically we have been told that we are having to comply with both TB1 and TB4 testing requirements. This does not seem to be sustainable in the long term, does anyone else have any experience of similar? How long is it likely to be designated as a hotspot and will it eventually become TB1?
Trying to get head around long term planning, and how to manage the pre and post movement testing requirements with out it becoming too complicated.
