    Bvd questions

    If they are negative there should be no concern. How do you know you had an outbreak? We had 2 test positive at sale time 4 years ago from a closed herd with no other cattle nearby.

    Who makes the square shouldered bands? Dont think i ever seen any. For years i bought bargains because they had horns and dehorned them. I have gotten weaker and it wears me out to use the wire to saw them off.

    Steer stuffer worth it?
