[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 357737, member: 5106"] If it is Johne's then she came from a herd that had been exposed because all the research that has been done says it is most contagious in gestation;through the milk, or in the shedding phase.You have done nothing wrong and in fact sound very responsible to help control Johne's.The only thing that really kills manure infected by Johne's is heat so if you can get your area cleaned out and let the summer heat get to it then it should probably be good for spreading on your feilds.I am really very sorry this happened to you.I wish more people would realize just how devistating Johne's is to a herd and unless you have gone through it you haven't got a clue.By the responses you have gotten through this thread either they have no clue about the effects of the disease or ignore it and sell their animals anyways.I am probably going to get blasted by this but I really don't give a crap.I know how you feel it's like someone duped you and sold you crap animals just for a buck.Well let's hope she didn't cost you the amount of dollars that it cost me. Good Luck with everything. Now that you have seen what can happen to a healthy cow in a matter of months you can really get the word out to other people that Johne's is here in beef as well as in dairy and is more debilatating to our herds than BSE at least BSE as far as the research tells us is not contagious ;and it is really hard to tell when you buy animals if the herd has been exposed to Johne's unless the seller discloses it.
