2012 test results are in!

I sent in 17 samples - 14 from my herd and 3 from some boer does I hope to get from a fellow forum member - and everybody came back negative for CL, CAE, and Johnes!

Very nice. It's good to see that there are still some people who care about such things.

Congrats it is always a relief to get that neg test back even when you are sure it will be. I breathe a big sigh of relief every year when that comes in.

Yeah, the ALL CLEAR sign. The email is great, but I print it out even though I know I'll get a hard copy by post.

It's just so nice to hold it and look at it...

CONGRATULATIONS MYGOAT!!!

LOL... did you notice that I totally messed up typing the word WHO?? brain & fingers don't always work well together...


as for the tagline.. I've always loved that quote, since the day I saw the movie..(it's from Practical Magic) ... just pretty much sang to the song of my soul!

Heh. Actually first, I'd like to make sure all goat owners KNEW what CAE was....

I didn't get an email, I call in. I always forget that there's a 3 hr time difference between here and there, so I always call at like 4:30 here, and it's only 1:30 there...
