Risk of Exposure Questions:

Use these questions to determine your herd's risk of exposure to Trich.

1.  Do you buy/lease/borrow non-virgin bulls?

2.  Do you buy open cows?

3.  Does your herd have high risk contact with outside herds?

Use the chart below to determine if you have high risk contact with outside herds.

¹Some grazing communities have Trich management plans in place to aid in the prevention of Trich. 

²High risk neighbors include breeding age cattle with an unknown owner, a herd with no defined calving season, an unstable herd population (i.e. trader cows), or a herd with a history of Trich infection.  All other herds would be considered low risk. 

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, please click the link "Yes, my herd is at high risk for exposure to Trich."

If you answered "no" to all of the questions, please click the link "No, my herd is not at high risk of exposure to Trich."
