We never had any with TB on our place.
    Yes they did depopulate because of BSE, Mel Macrea lost every animal!

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