    Yeah you will be ok. Because the calves are older they have a higher risk of being TIs ie they arent born with BVD(PIs) but pick it up after birth (transitional infection, TIs). You will have to test any showing up with infection again to make sure they are TIs, which get over BVD, or PIs, which dont and should be culled

    do you have standard ear tags?

    personally i'd apply the bvd tags when you do get them.
    risk is that you could get false positives and it will be a bit of a puzzle to figure out which is infact the PI. but if all your results are negative there should be no issue.

    I'd say youd get them quicker from Celtic Diagnostics they are saying 7 days in their ad's in the Farmers Journal
