Not unless a neighbouring farm has had them done, but they do move about a bit; I think the same group has at least 4 or 5 different sets. Sometimes they stay a short while sometimes seems for years. Don't know much about them tbh, except for the occasional hello as we pass by one another Really the issue is the method of farming; too many animals all cooped up together. Like any transmittance illness, if you are in a closed and cool damp place together and one gets it, maybe all will. Cows always like to be outside except in worst weather. I think it's better for stuff like mastitis and slurry foot anyway; doesn't matter how clean you keep a shed if they're in all the time it's going to cause issues. And that is the preferred method of farming round here it seems. I hadn't even heard of half the diseases cows could get till I came to the uk. Over there, you build a shed to put your machinery in Message Thread: Little known. Badger cullng.
