    I'd treat the whole lot as they'd be carriers. While grass, or rather, sunlight, helps get rid of it I've also seen groups of cattle contracting it at grass.

    Don't forget to disinfect the building once they have gone out so you don't have the fun next year. You need to check what disinfectant works.


    Plus leave up the holly. :)
