[QUOTE="fnfarms1, post: 1340421, member: 24416"] Here in Oklahoma bvd isn't a reportable disease. However I ask the vet about what to do, he said to tell the stockyard people and let them handle it. So I did. I was told by a friend at the sale that they sold them as "feedlot only stock". He said they went to packer buyer going straight to a packing plant. The calves were split off to a buyer wanting feeder calves. Said it was announced as they entered ring that they were "PI positive cattle". I figure that's about all I can do. Looking back I guess feeding them out and selling for freezer beef would have been better to avoid infecting others but honestly didn't think about it. Vet said it isn't a disease easily spread but I will more than likely have 3-5infected by the fall due to having them in my herd, but likely won't show on a test for 2-3 months. So I will ear notch when work them in fall. Said its not a disease that wipes you out, but typically nickel and dimes you if you dont wipe out the infected ones. [/QUOTE]
