Mart and annual tb test

If you tested on the 20th March 2024 you can sell up to until the midnight on the 19th March 2025.

The only issues which wouldn't effect you is the cull cows will be over 6 months since they were tested so the next owner would be required to test them after a month unless they are a feed lot or kill them with within 2 months.

Cows that were last tested in say February 2024 and were only in the current owners ( sellers ) herd for say one or two months .
On a similar issue , a colleague was telling me that he sold a cow privately that was in test . Put the transaction through using Agfood . Within minutes new owner got text to say that cow was now restricted and full herd would be restricted if cow not tested within a month . Why didn’t Agfood system flag that this animal would cause such issues to new owner? If it had been flagged , cow would not have been purchased as this only happened to satisfy stocking rate .

@GNWoodd I don't know about it been ignored, friend of mine was at the mart few weeks back & seen a "cheap" suckler cow & bought her. Next morning he got a text say he had to test her as it was 8 months since she was tested.

you could possibly get going the following day all they have to do is derestrict you by pressing a button might be no harm to ring your dvo and see is everything thing with the paper work etc inorder

It was the following week before I got the letter from Dept saying I was derestricted. As said above, took that long before vet sent in report etc. It was almost a week I would think.

Testing here next week after outbreak next door - normally at yearly test wouldn't test calves under 42 days, Is this still allowed under these circumstances does anyone know?
