[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1769073, member: 24027"] Biosecurity would be my main concern. Best friend had 2 registered Gelbvich bulls that ended up with Johnes. Same breeder, bulls were a year apart. Breeder was dry lotting the weanling bulls in what used to be a dairy farm. Subsequent major cluster and a lot of culling ensued. Not to mention the financial hit. That said, I have no clue how dairies operate & feed their calves, but no way would I buy a dairy calf and introduce it into my closed beef herd. Calf may appear totally healthy but has different pathogens. [/QUOTE]
