Visited a client outside Tralee today who had many reproductive problems with freshly calved cows. There was a severe outbreak of T.B. in an outside farm where his dry cows and spring heifers were on grazing ground. The client did not feed them dry cow minerals as he was afraid of badgers accessing same and causing further T.B. outbreaks. My advice here would be to use mineral boluses for the dry cow period.
