[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 689143, member: 7875"] I have goats, and I have had experiences with CL. I'll have to look it up in my vet manual, but have never heard of CL in cattle. Now, CL can be transmitted to humans, although my vet has stabbed himself with a needle after draining a CL wound, and I've gotten it on me and neither of us has contracted anything. As far as CL itself goes, most goat farmers would never admit having it if at all possible. For years, the general advice was to never buy from a farm that has had CL. Now that goats are everywhere, CL is everywhere. I purchased goats from the top boer goat herd in the nation when they were dispersing a couple of years ago, and they had CL in their herd. CL isn't really as bad as it sounds. THey'll get a big pus filled spot usually between their shoulder and jaw. Once it gets to a certain size, it will burst which spreads the CL. The bulge on their neck, jaw, shoulder isn't painful and they don't seem to mind it. Some goats will get multiple knots and should be culled, but some will only get one and go back to the way they were, and some will be exposed to it and never get a knot. The biggest problem I"ve seen with CL is it appears in herds that are stressed, confined, or are together alot like at a feed trough or barn. [/QUOTE]
