Correct me if I am wrong, but if there are younger animals, some of the feed lots have the right to buy and put them in. They could have animals that are clean. Dr. Barrett just said they could spread the disease. How does that operate? If I am a feed lot owner, my understanding – correct me if I am wrong – is that some cattle that have TB can be bought by feed lots.
