I also test my herd yearly for CL & Johnes and any new goat is tested for CAE as well. Because of the cost (over $600 a year), I split my testing into two, one group in spring, the rest in fall. The spring group are any new goats (which also get tested when they arrive) and kids turning the appropriate age. The fall test is for does I've had for a while and always tested negative prior tests. Due to the potential of someone copying my results and messing with them/stealing them, I decided to not to post them online but all tests can be viewed in person. Each blood sample is drawn from one goat by my vet and labeled with the goat's registration number and sent in to be tested.
When on the doe pages, if their name is underlined, you can click and view their pedigree. If their parent's names are underlined, you can click on them to see their parents. All pictures of parents not owned by me are owned by their respective owners and I lay no claim to the pictures or goats, they are reference only and not copied or pasted but link directly to owner's site.
