Test results came back for the boys! Leo and Donatello tested negative for CAE, CL, and Johnes. Ashton tested positive for CL, and negative for CAE and Johnes.
The current plan is to cull Ashton, and Bergamot; I had a negative feeling when I couldn't draw blood from Bergamot, and I did not feel good about leaving him in a pen with a CL- goat. So Bergamot is penned with Ashton, in the pen where I previously kept a CL+ goat (Latte's pen buddy).
I will hopefully re-test in about 6 months. I have the girls, Josie and Eliza, to test as well. Eliza has to wait a few months before I can test them both for CAE and CL.
So thankful and happy for the good results!
