[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 606720, member: 7398"] Well, the blood results are in . . . it's Johnes. Bought a group of cattle from a top end breeder in the area last fall. Paid $1500 per head for a group of cows. Now my whole herd will have to be checked and culled where necessary since I don't know the extent it existed on the other guy's place. As you all may know on this board, it normally gets transmitted through milk or feces contaminated teats so this group of calves could be shot too. Remember, it's buyer beware out there and your otherwise healthy herd can get contaminated from any source. If you buy from a farm - get the Johnes test done before delivery. If you're buying from a salebarn . . . cross your fingers. [/QUOTE]
