[QUOTE="Lazy M, post: 1131319, member: 19946"] Noticed that one of the bulls was looking thin about a month ago. Put him in the barn and began supplementing him with grain. Despite maintaining a good appetite, he continued to rapidly lose condition. Took him to the vet, praying for hardwire.. blood tests came back as, you guessed it, freaking Johnes.. I'm now in the process of blood testing all the heifer's I've retained since having him (he's 71/2). I spoke with the breeder, a fairly large seedstock operation. He is really freaked out- claims that he blood tests all his stock yearly. He did admit that they had purchased a cow that was diagnosed with Johnes several years ago, but that the cow was kept quarantined from his herd until until her blood test and then promptly hauled off. I not sure what my proper recourse should be with the breeder..maybe nothing, I'm not sure..he hasn't offered anything, but I think he is kind of in shock..he did ask that I email him a copy of the bull's lab report..this sucks.
