Tests When Buying

[Lorinda Barnes, PMJS President, North Woods Homestead, ID]

What tests do you get on cattle you’re buying and bringing onto your property?  I didn’t know to test my first two cows.  Now, I test for BLV, BVD, Johne’s, Neospora, and Q-fever for cows, plus Trich and breeding soundness if it was a bull.  If the cow is in milk, I’d add Mycoplasma and Staph A with infectious mastitis.  Do you test for anything that I missed?
