Clients purchase, borrow, or use loaner bulls. Animals only come from a Johne s-certified farm. Purchases are limited to open heifers.
Clients collect DHIA somatic-cell counts from the seller s herd.
All incoming animals are vaccinated for IBR, BVD, P13, BRSV and lepto before arrival. Clients actively test and cull PI BVD carriers. Clients test for BLV and Johne s infection. Clients understand the importance of limiting spread by discarding needles and sleeves between animals. Cows are blood tested for Salmonella dublin annually.
