Got the vet coming this morning. First TB test for the hiefers and steers, really hope we pass but there was a breakdown a few mile away from us back in June so we are worried. There is a badger set in the wood at the back of us so we do have a close proximity to them.
We will know by Friday anyway, If they fail it

it will cost us cause the Heifers are all sold subject to test and hubby said he wont keep cattle again if they fail.
I really do like badgers but...........

My Dad has his Poll Angus cow and heifer tested a week or so ago and they both passed. The neighbouring farmer has had TB in his herd for the past 2 years and is still unable to move any of his cattle off the farm. My Dads cattle are in a field next door to this farmers and there is also a badger set in the woods at the top of the field. To date and

my Dads cattle have never had TB. Hopefully you will be the same with yours
