    was charged about e3.60 hd for tb, as far as i can remember. but it all comes back to the numbers tested and the farmers set up, ie good facilities, how quick can the farmer get the cattle through.
    the herd test for tb and bru, inc reading averaged out to about e150 hr for the vet, not bad if you can get it.
    we also had the cost of an extra person for the 1st day

    charged this year..i think €3.5 for tb, and think €4.50 for br...
    and then €35 for each visit..very reasonable!

    €3.75 for tb €2.75 for blood €25 for each visit plus vat comes to €351.85. So with a discount for prompt payment it should be about €330
