No, I cannot prevent fenceline and direct contact of my pregnant herd with other cattle.Preventing exposure of your herd to other cattle may not be practical in many situations. If your herd has contact with other cattle, your herd will be at risk for continued exposure to BVD. The importance of eliminating contact with other cattle depends on how likely those cattle are to be infected with BVD. You may be exposing your neighbors' herd to BVD. An aggressive test and cull strategy prior to fenceline contact will limit the risk to other herds. Are the animals that your pregnant cattle will have contact with likely to be infected with BVD (high risk)? Find out what type of exposure is high risk by clicking on the icon below.
