Local veterinarians are forbidden
to test any cattle in Redwood County
after March End, or, as the instruc
tions from the Minnesota Livestock
Sanitary Board recently out, state
not later than ten days prior to the
area test which is to start on March
18th. There is no advantage in far
mers testing their cattle in advance
of the area test since the area test is
applied without any expense to the
farmer or cattle owner. Farmers
testing their cattle privately must
pay for the test, and in addition to
that help to pay the free test for the
rest of them. However, cattle tested
sixty days prior to the county test
beginning March 18th, will not have
to be re-tested in the area test. All
herds where re-actors are found on
private test must be turned over to
the county area test for all re-tests
which follow. All accredited herds
whose tests come anywhere near the
time of the area test viii be asked
to test at this time which will as
sure them at least two annual tests
without charge, since they are help
ing to pay the tests in the county
they will be given this opportunity
to come under the area test and re-
ceive two free tests.-Lynn Sheldon,
County Agent.
