[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 56042, member: 173"] Very possible it's Johnes.. for some reason, Brahman cattle are especially susceptible. I would suggest shipping the cow that is showing symptoms now.. and watch for any additional cows to show. It's a long drawn out process to get it out of the herd.. you'll have to cull on symptoms. I would also suggest not keeping any offspring of the bull, but that may not be feasible. You will generally notice symptoms when the cow has been stressed.. ie: weaning a calf, calving, shipping, etc. They are generally between 3 and 6 years old. It's a nasty disease and can be very depressing when you have to ship good cattle to get rid of it. Good luck [/QUOTE]
