She goes today and we are having the others tested.

Hello Issy,

sorry my fears have turned out to be true, but glad that you have got to the bottom of it and can now get things sorted. I think in smaller herds it is usually easier than in large ones with the capacity for the BVD virus to go round in circles. Getting rid of the PI ones is the key to erradication, and this is one you are better off without. In a small herd it may well be the only PI you have, lets hope so. I hope things go well.

Thank you Inger and Duncan, I hope the other two are ok. They have always been far more robust than Hef ever was so I am hoping that it is a good sign.

Just to let you all know that my other two are carrying antibodies to BVD and so are fine and my cow will have given immunity to the calf she is carrying so all looks well for now - except it will be 3 years now before we have more beef as I am determined not to bring in any more potential problems!!!
Sue and Bill I don't think I know enough to write about it, I only know what I have been able to look up and what people have been kind enough to tell me.
