[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 22701"] That's a good question.. to test or not to test? Are you aware that any testing has to be reported to the Dept of Agriculture? If you have a certain percentage that test positive, you may be faced with eliminating your herd. (Depending on what state you're in.. ask your vet) If this is the only cow that's shown symptoms, you definately want to ship her and any of her offspring. You can do that and just watch the remainder of the herd .. but it's an ongoing thing. It may take years to get all of it out of your herd. Johnes doesn't show up until cattle are 2+ years old. Any of the herd that have been exposed to the cow that has it are susceptable.. but the younger stock are the ones that are more vulnerable. [/QUOTE]
