A friend of mine had a bull die from Johne's disease. The vet gave some info on the disease, but I am wondering what will happen with his other animals.
The bull had been on the farm for about 2 yrs, was brought onto the property when the animal was about 1 - 1 1/2 yrs old ---- and has been the main herd sire for his dairy and beef. Until now, there had never been a case of this disease on his property before. The vet said it takes about 2 yrs before the disease makes its presence known, and is transmitted through the manure.
Has anyone ever dealt with this disease???
