    Hi,
    I'm looking at selling a couple of sucklers. Most of The calves were born in February and March. Is it ok to sell or do calves need to be tested?
    Cows were TB Tested in November last year.

    As of today, any calf born before 12th March will have to be tested (That's 41 days as of today)
    I don't think you'd be allowed to sell on the 42nd day so I wouldn't chance it.

    Us this converter- http://www.convertunits.com/dates/daysfromdate/

    Just type in the day you're planning to sell and put in 41 days, anything born before the date it gives you will need to be tested.

    The calves will need to be under 6 weeks. it's too late for the February calves and for calves born on or before the 12th of March as of today so they need to be tested.
