ORIGen

I've heard that the ORIGen bull collection facility is shut down. Does anyone have any details on that? Or which bulls will be affected? Thanks...

This doesn't answer your question but ORIgen and ABS have sort of been in bed together lately and ABS was/is building a new Bull facility in Nebraska (I think). I know that they had planned to move all of their bulls out of Wisconsin. Is it possible that the ORIgen bulls are moving to that facility also? Just a thought without much backup.

Origen was under USDA quarentine, they had a bull test positive TB three times. They put the bull down and word is that the quick tests were wrong and the bull did not have TB.

Thanks. I called ABS and got the same info as you've posted, except for putting the bull down. They never did have a case of TB there; just false positive reports.
