We've recently gotten 2 pygmy does, and we'll have a 3rd coming soon. These does come from a herd of 11 goats (various breeds). This herd is from a small hobby farm and never tested for CAE. (I do plan to test the does soon.)
In the spring I'll be getting a toggenburg milking doe who comes from a closed CAE free herd. My 2 does don't exhibit any symptoms of CAE and there are kids in their original flock who have nursed from their mom. Even before testing is there a chance that my girls won't test positive for CAE since there original flock seems healthy?
Thanks,
Sonja
