[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 363558, member: 6007"] So, you would ship him. Is BVD contagious? Is it curable? Can this animal be eaten? Drug withdrawal times? If he goes through the sale barn can he infect others? If he goes through the sale barn and gets bought by someone else - does the buyer have an animal that might die on him? If he goes to another home that runs cattle that are not vaccinated can he infect them? You know that not all cattle are vaccinated - I have some here that have never seen a needle for various reasons. Another story. Is this a contact or a wind born disease? If I visit this animal and then visit an organic operation - will I infect that herd? Do I care? What the He LL just ship him? What if I carry the germ from this cow to an organic herd unknowingly? Does it matter? Ship him and "caveat emptor"? I am not picking on you - this goes to anyone who would ship just to recover some cost at the expense of another. And possibly spread something as well. Your thoughts? Anyone? Or perhaps another topic? Morals and ethics? Am I any better than the breeder that I am PI SSED at if I ship him as is? Or am I simply the same - or perhaps worse? Would you sell him to your neighbour? If not then why a stranger? Or is it just dollars? Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Just my opinion. Hence my "cure him or kill him" comment.
