Be carefull if you buy cows or a bull from the sale barn have them tested for Tric. "quote from Wmwendler"
Learned a good lesson on Tric this year. Had 7 of our 30 bulls test out for this. Never had the problem before. We must have bought some dirty cows from the sale barn. But it would have been cost prohibitive to get over a 100 cows tested. One thing to remember is that, and this is what i was told by the vet, that a cow will clean up or get shed of the disease after 2-4 heat cycles. A bull wont clean up. Anyways, we run crossbred cattle on charolais bulls. I have always learned that you can put a #2 cow with a #1 bull and get a pretty good turnout. Doesn't work to well the opposite. Dont go cheap on your bulls, go buy one from a breeder, not the sale barn.
