What a dilemma to be in.
But again the easiest target is the badgers - i wonder if one was anesthetised and a test done weather it would show tb, until then its pure speculation.
Unfortunatly if you remove or damage the sett you will get badgers in that are sick, because a established sett will keep sick badgers out, and away from your land.
Rats are apparently a major infection source - another one is any hunts going from farm to farm.

bTB test is similar to that used for teenagers re human form. but those reacting were not culled as cattle are.The fuss about bovine TB is surprising as health risk negligible now most milk is pasteurised. Currently transmission to humans in UK is virtually zero. Fifty years on we are STILL using the same archaic skin test which measures whether an animal has been exposed to Mycobacteria. Few cattle will ever get clinical symptoms. Farmers should be able to vaccinate cattle against bTB.

Have you considered the inaccuracy of the skin test. Defra say that 20% of positives are left in the herd,the so called hidden reservoir and although only 1 in a thousand tests give a false positive when you are doing a million test a year then that is 1000 false positives which can be one in four of the positives ie 25%.Check out the numbers for your county and do the maths you may be surprised I was! Good luck with your next test.

Hope you go clear soon. We're on stop with tb also. It's criminal that the cattle can be taken but the "problem" is not being addressed.
