Day 3 with our new boy, Nick

CL in the organs doesnt kill em. Or at least I have never heard of a goat dying, someone doing a biopsy and discovering internal CL to be the cause. Although rare (or maybe with them being internal, there has always been a less likelihood of them being found) if a goat develops them internally, they have already manifested externally. There was a medical article I read years ago and it had to do with a fair in Europe where a sheep housed in the same barn as other sheep and goats. The sheep had CL in its lungs and was coughing a lot. Long story short, 90% of the animals in the barn ended up becoming CL positive. As mention, over in Europe, CL has been around quite some time. The country that this happened in had very strict CL prevention and testing programs in place. So they were able to track it back to that fair.
