[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1612126, member: 27490"] FOR ANYONE SELLING BREEDING STOCK: If you don't test a heifer/cow that aborts, you are assuming a risk that could come back to haunt you. Example: let us say your heifer aborts during the 7th month of her term. The cause of abortion was Neospora but you don't know that at this point in time. You would need to run a blood antibody test to know that. The heifer may never abort again but all her offspring are likely to be seropositive for Neospora. Let us say that you sell a bred heifer out of her to John Doe and the heifer aborts. John runs an antibody test and she is seropositive for Neospora. He calls you and asks if the Dam of the heifer had ever aborted. You say yes. He asks if you tested her. You say no. You are then at a decision point. Do you then test her and when you find that she is seropositive for Neospora, what do you do? [/QUOTE]
