[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 1131641, member: 5106"] He is the perfect age to start showing symptoms but yes that shedding has been happening since he was a yearling . That totally sucks Lazy M !!!! I had a nightmare like that about 9 years ago, I sold all the claves that were born that year , just incase they were exposed to her shedding . Thankfully for me in a sense, she was purchased and went down hill right afterwards ,so her shedding was only a few months here . I did however have to send a lot of really nice calves to slaughter that otherwise would have made d@m good breeding stock. The original breeder basically gave me the finger and when I got the association involved they told him to settle with me asap ,which he did not. He offered me embryos out of her as compensation and said that she must have gotten Johnes from my herd , dumb bleep .... :mad: I should have taken the @sshole to court because he cost me 6 grand in the cow , a thousand in semen and a young stock crop that was priceless. Now my herd is closed and now that we are past the 7 year tell tale symptom make and everyone seems very healthy and fat I think / I know I did the right thing for me and my customers . It was a h$ll of a price to pay and I still have not made back that loss of revenue , as it was my decision to buy her so the lost money came out of my personal account to refund the Ranch . Oh well , holidays are overrated anyways :roll: You need to test everyone that has been born and exposed to his shedding at your place . Then go from there and if you sold young stock from him as breeding stock you need to inform your customers . NIGHTMARE it is that and more . So very sorry you are going through this . Keep your vet involved in everything you do and also contact you county extension agency as they will have some advise and perhaps some new alternatives to what needs to be done . Good luck . My heart goes out to all of you . :( [/QUOTE]
