[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1616694, member: 38479"] Hi ken, After some brief reading, your reply is better understood. All calves, when bought, were normal size and decent condition. They, or, any, could have been exposed to PI at various times, my expectation is they went from farm, probably in a truck used by other cattle, then to yards, then to another truck, and to another yard with high movements.....so plenty of time for exposure. The couple with respitory disease, and a few others with occasional cough, are being managed and monitored. I will prob discuss and with any remaining cough in next few weeks. In relation to PI, is it a fair strategy to not bring any new animals to property from a period shortly before breeding, till say 5 months or so after being pregnant..... It would seem it is highly likely heifers would have already all developed immunity as have highly likely been exposed.... Later when these calves are closer too breeding, see if any have persistant PI....and unload any positives. I am unlikely to have a closed herd, so could this be managed by having periods of no new animals at that period each time ? [/QUOTE]
