Sorry to hear this Richard, If the public knew what farmers have to go through they would think very differently about farming. Best wishes for the future

[@arturaspoderis3153]

Good vet's job. Visible blebs, proper clipper marks. Professional.

[@matthewgorman1307]

That's just a bit of bad luck. Every livestock farmer understands. You will pull through this. Your a great farmer.. love you.

[@davidedge2189]

Hi Richard,We have gone down with 6 cows today .Closed herd ,and never had a reactor since my grandparents started here 75 yrs ago.Last weeks the whole of wales was put in NVZ area,and to think I was pissed about that.Thanks for putting up your post ,it’s nice to know we’re all in same boat

[@jimpolk]

Sorry to see this Richard. Hope the rest of your herd is safe. I've never seen a reaction that big before. 😳 WOW

[@RevSteveSutton]

Thinking and praying for you and your family. I am sure it must be hard for you all let's hope you get an all-clear fast.

[@donbailey7136]

So sorry to hear about your test,it’s very stressful and totally devastating we are in and out of TB all the time .just hang in there Richard and keep doing what you’re doing God Bless

[@paulhallissey1]

Sorry to hear richard. It is the most dreaded time of the year on every farm. Best of luck for the future.

[@alex5983]

So sorry to hear this Richard. I hope all is ok. Thank you for the video 👍

[@alicegamble6145]

Sorry to hear of the positive TB test. Farming is tough enough without more headaches.

[@DavidJohnson-rj8zu]

Sorry to hear the bad news Richard, I'm shattered I really feel for you and the farm hope inconclusive passes A-OK.

[@diarmuidoriordan7508]

Sorry to hear about tb test Richard always something in farming. Hope you go clear nxt test they must have had it going in last winter. Vet told me keep cows away from stagnant water ponds and drains a great help and we put in alot more water troughs take it easy you will get tru it as some one said to me before its outside the door. 👍

[@mattdoe7549]

Really feel for you and your family Richard, in 30 odd years of being round cattle and TB testing, I had never seen a reaction like you showed,i was shocked 😲. Hoping these are isolated cases for you.Stay strong stay safe, keep up the great work 👍🌞🍻

[@donnafink6262]

So sorry for you all. I wonder how your closed herd contracted the TB. Take good care, better days ahead.

[@OliverLee390]

So sorry to hear this Richard, wishing you all the best

[@mattthederp4938]

[@mrhorsepower150]

[@becmckinlay5073]

Sending your family and the ladies all the Aussie sunshine I can. X

[@TheSparkysdog]

[@kyrreb-m]

Sorry to hear that Richard! Hang in there! Sun and spring is coming ☀️🐮

[@nickk8762]

Sorry Richard. Take care mate! Fingers crossed for the next test!

[@matthewbutterfield7233]

Sorry to hear about this Richard. Keep cracking on, you'll get through it soon.

[@callumspence5844]

Sorry to hear this Richard hope things gets better and the future is better on your farm!

[@dbg9226]

Farm I milk on had 2 ir last October they were retested went clear in February told we had to have full test again as farm in the area had got tb went clear again now been told will have retest again in 2 months as another farm has gone down with tb in area.

[@pfd37]

Good luck to you. We're fortunate over here in the states that it's extremely rare, so much so I'd never heard of testing or the problem until I watched your and Tom P's videos. Best wishes.

[@robertcaile1596]

So sorry for you. Hope the next test come back negative But you and the family are safe and well, so keep smiling Chin up, from Suffolk

[@benjoneshillsidebeef4033]

Ah it’s a horrible time. We had reactors and inconclusives that had to go in our annual test last year. Same as you we’re a closed herd, only cattle that had grazed in one particular field got it though, and while we’ve had them all housed over winter, we have had 2 clear tests. They’re back out grazing now though, so who knows what the next test will bring. Sorry for the stressful few months you will have now. Best wishes from just across the border 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@johnmooney5693]

Sorry to hear your news Richard. If things were not tough enough. Keep the head up

[@Gwril76]

What a sad day for you Richard. Watched numerous videos on TB. What's your thoughts on controlling TB.. I'd hate to be in this position. All the best for the future mate... Keep positive

[@jonwright7394]

Oh that's really terrible news, so sorry to hear this, as you said its a closed herb, its been indoors for the last 5 months - there has to be something going on with these tests.

[@neusac4590]

Sorry to hear that Richard. Hang in there. 👍👍👍👍👍😉🇺🇸

[@6830ful]

Did you not pick up the lumps when milking?

[@farmernige]

Tough day! I dread TB testing never sleep the night before.

[@glynroberts1903]

Really sorry to see you go down. We're down too since dec. The orange markets seem pretty good of late. Calves can be sold in them and decent ones are sought after at the moment. I guess you probably know that though anyway. Good luck for next test.

[@kilgarriff8]

Sorry to hear Richard. You are spot on in your assessment at the end. Wishing you the best and hopefully they'll test clear from here on out 🤞🤞

[@masseyman-oc2fe]

I use ibtb to trace tv we have also been brought into testing as our neighbour farm has gone down so we are due a test in a couple of weeks

[@spiercephotography]

So sorry for the bad news! Sad that it made it's way to you :( How absolutely stressful. I'm glad it was only 2 cows and hoping that it doesn't spread out to anymore of them. Sorry for your losses. after last year really sucked too. I really hope the retests come out okay and clean.

[@stu.smith79]

So sorry to here about the T.B. in your heard. Best of Luck on your future testing results.

[@danielbanks9000]

Sorry to hear about this. Such a cruel thing to affect cattle. Wishing all the best and the rest of herd are all OK.

[@MrPa1971]

Warm hug to you and your family Richard ! And not no again ??? And where do you think its comming from ?? And what happen to the milk ? Can you sell it ? I dont see but was it on a hefier or a dariy cow ??

[@1963MikeP]

First video of yours I've seen and it has to be such a bummer! Really sorry to see your issues. All the best for the next 120 ish days.

[@johnspall6039]

Sad day when you have such results, we all feel for you. Best wishes and hopefully better days to come

[@carolmccarthy9004]

Thank you for a very real account of a miserable result. That was a mega reaction. Yikes for all it means. Keep safe and carry on.

[@georgerome]

Very sorry to hear Richard its a hard enough job without jumping loopholes like this TB testing it must be heartbreaking for all the family to see so much work you put into producing fabulous animals to see them having to go to slaughter. Really just makes me relaise how lucky we are up Scotland with not much trouble with TB

[@benlustysmodelfarm1532]

I’m sorry to hear it Richard, keep your head up and I’ll be praying

[@sandymcghee3328]

[@EamonnJKG]

So sorry to hear Richard. Hope all is well

[@benmurray2546]

Aww man I’m so sorry to hear

[@mattfisher7432]

Oh no. That's terrible news. So sorry to hear that.

[@tombutler7871]

Sorry to hear the news best of luck with the next two tests. It’s awful to see to great looking cows heading to slaughter. Very best of luck to you and family

[@stuarturen9404]

Sorry Richard about the results wishing you all the best

[@hollyjensen7139]

Not in the UK, so have no knowledge of this, but does the government provide the testing free of charge, and do you get any compensation for the loss of 3 good milk cows? Is there any research on how the TB is getting around since you mentioned that you have a closed herd? I have sheep, not cows, and yes, the closed herd is so protective of issues.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Hi. Yes the tests are funded by government and so is the compensation. A lot of blame is pointed at badgers and deer

[@hollyjensen7139]

@@thefunkyfarmer thank you for the information, greatly appreciated.

[@nancysmith-baker3827]

Why is TB so big in the UK ?? .what causes it .

[@fivestarsupplies]

Down to experience here, we have got rid of our inconclusive animals in the past. Sorry for your loss. I hate tb testing.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

i think we will do the same

[@derekbyers5284]

Its results in huge increase in your daily work load, we have 70 calves to feed n bed & take care of , all of which usually be sold on at 3 -4 weeks old, we also are a closed herd, got our first 60 day test last week ,clear thank god, so hopefully 🙏. TB spread is still being blamed on wildlife , badgers, & deer’s, is that the same in your part of the u.k?

[@stablefairy9437]

so very sorry to hear this terrible news. hoping for a clear test on the next round. xx

[@pj-fn1dv]

Sorry to hear that.

[@PhluterGoode]

That’s not great news. Our farm had was locked down with TB a few years back, not nice for my brother who’d taken over the official running of the place. Hopefully the retests will get scheduled ASAP and that you’ll be able to get back to normality.

[@TurnipCruncher68]

Fingers Crossed for you and the Family

[@graemebowyer4901]

As a non farmer, I have no real idea who this can affect you mentally, but best wishes for you & your family in the future.

[@kimchubb1225]

I have read some farmers place vitamin licks, near badger sets, healthy badgers shouldn't get tb??

[@martinoneill1644]

Good luck with your next test.

[@neilmurphy845]

Thank god you caught it early

[@timothykirk1497]

Sorry to hear about the bad test results after seeing what farmerp went through with his positive test results I have an idea how much harder it is for you being a dairy operation wishing nothing but the best for you

[@grantwinn54]

Man that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. It's sure not easy for us people doing farming and ranching you're always barely getting by. Well, I guess you're going to have to be the funky chicken farmer for a while. Selling those yummy eggs on the side of the road. Well like you say you got to crack on.

[@neilwilkinson6930]

How often do you have to get them tested

[@stufrst]

I really do feel for you, those animals don’t ask to have tb, but yet if they catch it it’s good bye, does anyone know if it badgers that spread it???? Who knows, good luck for the next test I hope it is all clear and life can go on, keep up the good work.

[@nicklane1234567]

Sorry for the result Richard Keep your head up nothing u could have done differently

[@MummaGee]

So sorry mate, chin up thinking of you all. Cheers Glenda from Wodonga Vic Australia 🙏💩💯

[@dirkmanderin]

Was just reading up on Bovine TB. If you follow good practices like I'm sure Richard does, then It's spread mainly by badgers?!?! Weird.

[@cameronallison6889]

Sorry to hear that I have my fingers crossed for you

[@neilmurphy845]

What is TB and how does it spread

[@nickcrozier5148]

So sorry to hear Richard fingers crossed 🤞 🙏 😢

[@Mufc2382]

Question Richard when your shut down with tb can milk lorry still come and lift milk

[@derekbyers5284]

Well Richard, I know exactly how your feeling now, this tb is a scurge , our farm, tested positive, with two dairy cows , four days before Christmas , 2020, these were two in calf cows, due in early January, that ment I couldn’t get them away from the farm until almost the end of January, ok we are well compensated for these animals, but that’s not the point, it results in a hush

[@byamrcn]

Ugh, was just thinking the other day that you haven't had any TB issues for quite a while. Well you guys hang in there, you've made it through this before and you will this time too.

[@kevinmoorse3997]

Sorry to hear, nothing worse,hopefully won't be for long

[@seamusmurphy2877]

So sorry for you it's a lottery testing. Have mine next Tuesday like you're self not looking forward to it hopefully you will go clear next time

[@jasonthomas3490]

Sorry for news mate

[@jamescarmody1710]

A lad long side me hear 46 out of 60 cows had tb

[@b2617]

Is there no vaccine for this for cows? Really unfortunate that you have to go through this and lose cattle.

[@davieanderson3856]

Gutted for you Richard horrible test but has to be done

[@ryanshim9328]

Bloody badgers big kick that is Rhich

[@paddy294]

The dreaded tb test. It’s an awful inconvenience. Keep the chin up I know it’s not easy Richard

[@louissummers1712]

It’s a pain in the ass hope you go clear the next to test Richard

[@tom4412]

That’s a real shame. And just as the calf trade was good.

[@johndeere1951a]

😥😥😥😥😥😥😥 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄 Very stressful, Richard and family. Perdon my dumb questions, is this TB transferable to humans? . Do you need to sanitize the parlor, and cows living quarters?. Again, very upsetting news this. Cow prayers from New Hampshire 🇺🇲🙏

[@davidfeatch1436]

Praying for you mate.

[@Andy-From-England]

Sorry to hear that sad news mate does that mean your in total isolation and the lads can't goto school

[@cindythomas2116]

I'm so sorry Richard 😔xx

[@annielane6018]

Sorry to see bad results. Thinking of you. 😪

[@normfergus8472]
