One or more of my bulls tested positive for Trich.

If you have not already tested your entire bull battery, you will need to test all of the bulls that have been in contact, at any time, with any cows or bulls from a breeding pasture that contained a test positive animal.  In order to control Trich in your herd, all of the infected bulls must be removed.  This can be accomplished with a test and slaughter strategy and careful management of the remaining bulls, or by selling all potentially exposed bulls and purchasing virgin replacement bulls.  

Infected bulls carry and spread Trich for life without showing any symptoms.  By removing infected bulls, you are making it possible to eliminate the disease from your herd.  There are a few more steps needed to eliminate Trich and minimize the chances of your herd becoming reinfected.
