TB Testing again today

With temperatures set to hit max. 26degrees today, I am sitting in the cool of my office catching up and remembering running around in the heat of the late afternoon yesterday getting the cattle in for TB testing.
Tb testing although a pain is much more easily structured in the housing months as obviously the cattle are, in the majority, mostly already in doors. It is just a matter of running them into a cattle crush, and then back into the shed again.
During the summer months they are all out on their grazing ground, so we have to get them into sheds the previous day ready to test them all and then get them all back in four days later to read the test.
Philip, Len & Colin were out yesterday after lunch sorting out the cattle sheds, moving gates etc and then they would begin to get the animals in. Then Philip hobbled in,( with Len & Colin in tow obviously looking for some tea!) he had been lifting and pushing the cattle crush and had felt something go twang in his calf muscle followed by tremendous pain. A couple of hours later, a trip to Llandrindod to the Docs, a torn muscle confirmed, rest, ice and feet up advised (as I had already suggested .... oh I am so wise!), and Philip is now sitting watching cricket moaning that he is bored, whilst Wyn, Len & Colin see to the TB test.
We can only keep our fingers crossed that we go clear this time. 6 weeks ago one of the Bulls read inconclusive, so hopefully this time we will be in the clear, because as he came from a TB free herd, and was tested free of TB pre-movement onto our farm, there is little chance of him having TB.

Will keep you up to date with the results.
