    Ive moved culls before the test just to avoid the risk with them. One less to worry about passing. Never noticed a difference in price.

    Dealers seem not to worry too much but a lot of farmers I know won’t touch a beast without at least six months remaining on test .Current situation re. TB only makes it more sense to have a fresh test. Also having farmers bidding on your stock usually gives a better return.
