Hi All, I am glad this subject has come to the fore again, considering the grief we have had to indure asking for testing before breeding to "DALLAS". If the test comes back positive the smart thing to-do is to treat at miss that breeding until next time. We had a male years ago go sterile on us because of Mycoplasma. We say that if they are postive "No" breeding there is no grey area. Good Luck to everyone for the New Year.
