after all the bad.
My cattle at home came up negative for brucellosis.
They were tested on Friday and I just got the results.
All of my beautiful heifers tested negative, but are considered exposed and will meet the same fate as the Morgan’s herd.

I was sure they would be negative but it is good to know for certain. Now they can go to pasture and you will have a change in pace from all the feeding for a while.
Now a dumb question…do you have any idea why when I click on Sarpy Sam I always get message 403 Forbidden? I would have been interested to see what he had to say about the brucellosis.

I’m so glad that the girls are fine. Does this mean that they have to remain quarantined? We will get to see more of 155 and 5 right?
I’ve been trying to follow this story on line and asked Linda Molten Howe to look into the situation.

So very sorry to hear about your girls. I wish there was something else that could be done to save the uninfected.

Bonnie - I’m not having any problem getting to Sarpy.
Niki - my cattle at home were not quarantined. I insisted that they were tested before I turned them out.
Thanks, Jon.

Long time since I posted on your site. I hope all is well and you keep your free status. I hate to see Bridger in the news this way. From the middle of missery I remain a Carbon County lover. kh

From the news today, it looks like things are looking up! I’ll keep my digits crossed for ya’ll.

Oh, Karen, I didn’t realize reading Sarpy Sam that it was your heifers that were exposed. I am so sorry.

Karen,
I’m confused about this. So unless another cow tests positive, Montana keeps it’s brucellosis-free status. That is good. Your heifers tested negative which sounds good, but will they be slaughtered like the Morgan cows because they may have been exposed?

Karen,
I’m glad the news is a bit better. You are more than due for some good luck and I firmly believe that you are in for a long stretch of it now!
Hugs,

see… I was correct… It turned out OK “other” than the end result
Keep the faith and I’m thinking of you
