    Surely you are thinking of the hoof and mouth in the UK Wilton Ranch? I don't think they ever depopulated a herd because of BSE either here or in the UK. We routine tested for TB in the UK over the years, re-tested 6 weeks later any that showed reaction to the first test and I guess if they were positive they were culled, not the whole herd. We never had any with TB on our place.

      Oh they depopulated trace backs. Know several guys personally who lost their whole herds because of a connection to the original case of bse.

        I stand corrected. Kinda stupid though - not like it was contagious. Fair enough culling birth cohorts as they did in the UK but not much point in culling whole herds where a BSE case resided at some point in its life.

            Wasn't our herd but sons and customers he fed for, do hope someone writes a book on the blunders and stupidity of CFIA. Messages could change three time a day about what was going on and all contradictory.

            Done now and hopefully their sacrifice will keep Canada's borders open!

              Yes they did depopulate because of BSE, Mel Macrea lost every animal!

                I knew your son was cleaned out but mistakenly thought you were cleaned out too. But it pisses me off this deal cause this isn't regular protocol for tb. Just another ham fisted response to appease somebody.

                  If we were cleaned out wouldn't be checking on this site, 300 PB cattle times $10000, and 100 times 4500, but still would want to be in the industry1

                    SCS So that is right $4500/cow and $1700/ calf. Now that is overkill.
