BVD testing - cost?

[milkmaid]

Out of curiousity, any one know what it usually costs to have that ear notch test done to determine PI animals?

I just had 50 hfrs done. I believe it was 3 or 4 $$ per head. It used to be $10 with shipping and everything but now a local vet set up a lab 30 minutes from here. He has been doing a lot of testing on feedyard cattle and can do it cheaper simply from big volume.

We tested all our replacement heifers and about 50 yearling sale bulls in January. $4.00 a head included the farm call. Our bull customers started asking for it a couple years ago so we started testing when we carcass ultrasound.
