[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 706272, member: 7509"] 1) I would really find out why he is selling them. 2) If he suspects Johnes I would thank him for his honesty and leave - without the heifers. Johnes is spread in manure, I believe, and once you get it in your herd and land it is near impossible to get rid of. I wonder if this is why he is clearing them all out? If you want to continue I would ask him if I could collect various manure samples around and get them tested yourself? Are any of the cattle in his herd, even those not offerred for sale, looking thin/emaciated? Be careful. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
