TB testing the moows !

With a massive sigh of relief, I am delighted to tell my followers, that our herd of "Hairy Highlanders" have successfully passed their latest TB test. It is always a very traumatic time, waiting the three days between actually giving them a little bit of the disease, and waiting to see if they react to it, by developing a great big lump. Of course, the only outcome then is slaughter, although a laboratory test may subsequently prove the animal to have been clean. Pretty devastating, which way it happens. My favorite cow, Maureen of Auchnacraig (I call her Maggie), still hasn't calved yet. She must have been waiting for the warm weather, which has just arrived. Our Curry night in the Restaurant on friday 21st is now virtually fully booked...should be a good night !
