Just a quickie before i go and fetch Jessica from off the School Bus.......
We read our TB test today from the first day of testing on Tuesday. Wonderfully the only 'INCONCLUSIVE' result is for our youngest newest Bull. We have been advised to keep him isolated from all the other cattle until the next test which will be in 6 weeks time.
the reason this is wonderful is that all of our cows, most of whom have now calved will not have to go away to slaughter and therefore neither will any of their calves, which makes it a lot easier for us, as we do not have to make the decision to send the calves for killing, or to to try and keep them, knowing they would probably suffer as they would not take easily to being bottle fed, so for another 6 weeks we have a reprieve.
On a much more hopeful note as well, just before we started to read the TB test one cow gave birth to twins...... let hope the bad luck is all behind us - fingers crossed.
