Several Routes

No one is going to issue orders or
throw his weight around in this deal
of blood testing a herd. When the
results of the test are known, any
one of several routes may be select
ed to reach the same end-the dis
ease-free herd. If there are only two
or three cows shown to be sreactors"
then common sense will indicate that
they should be sold for beef as soon
as possible. If the blood test indi-
Gates that a good many cows are dis
eased, then it may not be best to
dispose of so many, at least not all
at once, for many of these cows will
produce healthy calves. Really, the
only point that the veterinarian will
insist upon is that these reactor cows
are not permitted to find their way
into a clean herd, point that any
one will concede to be fair.
Free Testing
The state will test the cattle with
out charge, the state will vaccinate
the calves (f the owner will buy the
vaccine), the state will supervise the
complete eradication of Bangs dis
ease, if it happens to be present, All
the owner has to do is to supply a
little strong-arm help with the cat
tie, and what could be fairer than
that.
The state is trying to get rid of
Bangs disease in cattle; stockmen
would like to be free of it. At pres
ent prices nobody can lose. If it
seems best to get rid of few cows,
the ones that should go are those
that just might possibly be infect
| ed cows.
