as a Canadian cattle producer that's been through BSE and TB outbreaks relatively close to home its a very small price to pay for better biosecurity.

We sold bred heifers to a guy in Montana (live in Alberta) and the sale was canceled by the American government because the calves weren’t vaccinated by a veterinarian at birth and given a booster after 6 months also by a veterinarian. There needs to be a record of vaccination and booster for breeding animals to enter from Canada, and it cannot be after the first 2 or 3 months of life if I remember that correctly 1900). The other tests they needed were Brucellosis and Tuberculosis immediately prior to import

I've always wondered why north america doesnt test along the rib cage like the UK. under the tail has so many more reasons to cause a lump. it's like the vets have a quota for reactor animals they have to get.

had a perfectly healthy steer get condemned at the plant, wondering if that was a "quota". I'm not a big producer, $4000 goes a long way

Watch Clarkson Farm sometime. Same thing happened to Jeremy with a cow that was pregnant with twins and they ended up sending her to slaughter only to find out later that she was negative.

Never heard of TB testing at the tail end before. Here in Ireland it’s done in the neck as standard. Every animal needs to be done at least annually

Now you're Suck'n Diesel. :
Most cattle that are deemed positive are later found to be negative unfortunately there on a meat hook by then. The amount of jobs associated with TB eradication is astounding

Northern Michigan here. We have to TB test annually if you have a breeding herd or have more than 6 head. You also have to test before selling and/or moving any cattle. That test is only good for 60 days then you have to retest. It is the biggest joke and over reach you can imagine but there are to many state jobs revolving around TB for the state to realize they havent made any progress in eradicating TB since the 1980's

If you look up the Irish tb regulations it will blow you're mind we use the skin test on the neck and a blood test if there are reactors in the herd and that's just the start of it

here in Ireland if you have a reactor (animal that test positive on the skin test usally more than one animal in the first test) your herd is locked up so you cant buy in stock or sale other than to a meat processor you then have to test every 3-4 months for the until you have 2 test back to back completely clear (no lumps) at which point your free to buy in replacement stock but you must continue to test ever 6 months for a minimum of two years. it might be different for other lads but this my own experience so far my herd was hit with fales positive about 3 years ago lost my 90% of herd in that time and never had an animal actually have the disease.
