    ahi rang me there, telling me to isolate and retest etc. I was saying its strange as i am in year 3 of the scheme etc, she said another farmer had a positive one today also , it was the final calf to finish off his 3 years in the scheme:eek:

    That is very unfortunate. And I for one am not a sceptical person:rolleyes:

    They great with apple............sauce!

    Have you named them yet. Call them after some of the posters that here on boards. Have few ideas but maybe see what their 'personality' is like first.

    And let us know who you decide to call them after:)

    In a similar sort of boat here. But can't get any of our cows bulling at all, some of them calved back in Jan!
    Two options- 1- Buy/Rent out a bull (hesitant to rent, some of those bucks have been around)
    2- Get a teaser bullock for the summer.

    Sponging isn't really a viable after pricing and realising I'd have to bring the cattle in 3 times for it.
