I have the chance to buy 2 lovely doeling, well under a year old each. I mention age because I've read twice now Johnes is not testable at their age, but need confirmation on that.
I'm not 1000% satisfied with information given regarding the disease testing at their breeder farm. The goats all looked good otherwise and I'm willing to take a risk.
I see some good labs that I can send samples out to for testing that won't break the bank.
However, I need those goats on my property to do that. I have a separate stall away from the pastures they can stay in.
How do I, especially with children, ensure biosecurity long enough for testing results?
