I think Johnes became more prevalent in beef herds when producers started using Holsteins as recips when doing embryo transfer.

Gun stays in a bucket of chlorohex solution. I load gun with CIDR, and then dip whole gun and CIDR in a one gallon jug of lube. Been doing it like this since CIDR's became available in the U.S.

Thirty years ago we manually removed the placenta. Current vet recommended to wait three days, if it hasn't passed, give a dose of LA200 or 300, and 5 cc's of Lutalyse. Haven't had very many, but any that did always recovered and rebred on time.

Sounds to me if they want to call it contaminated fuel, then Ford installed a faulty filtering system.
