@mjgoodenco @AuctionsPlus Agreed, it should be compulsory to put in the assessment. Then buyers know they are getting what was actually assessed and puts pressure on seller to ensure they are actually tagged.

[Bovitech Veterinary Services @JessShilling2]

AuctionsPlus users - is anyone else frustrated by the lack of NLIS integration? Great platform for buying/selling, but having no ability to transfer NLIS data is frustrating. It's been suggested multiple times, but haven't seen any changes yet. What do others think?

@BrettPage72 @AuctionsPlus I agree responsibility should be the buyers but it's not hard to have the NLIS data there so the file could be downloaded and transferred same day without having to rescan the animals. Could be days/weeks/months before they come through the yards again depending on the situation.

@KentRochester @StaLuziaEsteio We need another one to practice!

@Willandrafarm I was told by DPIRD yesterday that we can expect an answer about in about a week, with regards to what the transition will look like. Looks to still be no contact tracing at this point.

[Bovitech Veterinary Services @JessShilling2]

BJD update - hopefully the transition period includes anonymously notifying properties that can be trace back to the infected farm. We're still being told this won't happen. If you had purchased potentially infected cattle, would you want to be informed?

What a great record from our history. Imagine being able to buy 1,000 head from the east for $60,000 these days!

@pbl1972 @JeisaneAccioly As @JeisaneAccioly said, it's >400 "contact" farms that have either sources potential infected cattle either directly or indirectly. So the initial farm has not necessarily sold cattle to that number of farms over the risk period.

[Bovitech Veterinary Services @JessShilling2]

Bovine Johnes has been detected in WA. We are awaiting a decision from DPIRD as to whether quaratine and eradication will take place, or whether the disease will be deregulated. We will keep you updated with more info as we receive it.

[Bovitech Veterinary Services @JessShilling2]

@MarkBai24763905 @JeisaneAccioly From my understanding, cattle from the initial infected farm have gone through the state, so exact location is not really relevant to the course of the disease.

[Bovitech Veterinary Services @JessShilling2]

@GlenridgePark @AlannahMac Thanks for raising this Lyn, as it's a great concern to me. Both from an animal welfare point of view, as well as human welfare/social impact on producers. We must make it clear to the department that they need to review their stance. I'm trying to get the word out there.

Client of the week goes to Jeff Blyth for making us this new toy to help with vasectomising teaser rams. We've dubbed it "Jeff's chair". No blue balls around here - just pretty pink!

@WALRC1 @MicGenstock @tim_trezise @ellie_bigwood @Claire_Payne24 @hayleywizzkid @HayleyCNorman @nstirlingdowns I hope it was filmed again for those that couldn't make it!

[Bovitech Veterinary Services @JessShilling2]

Why has the uptake of morphology testing been so slow? https://t.co/n4PzwePvP3

[Bovitech Veterinary Services @JessShilling2]

Preg testing is hard work, in fact, it often leaves you breathless. Some smart cookie has come up with a rather breath taking idea. What are your thoughts on this bovine breathalyser? Would you consider buying one of these, or using it as a service if it's too costly to buy?
