[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 356500, member: 968"] "IF" she has Johnes, she got it when she was born (or between birth and about 6 months of age). So, if she was born on your place, "most likely" her dam had it. In a beef herd, MOST cattle get it from their dam - thru colostrum & thru the manure on her teats. If you get colostrum from a local dairy, the calf can get it from that. I NEVER use dairy colostrum any more - getting way to prominent in the dairies. The best thing to do is collect a fecal sample from all your 2 yrs & older cattle & have it tested. This should be done a few times. Each testing takes months. [/QUOTE]
