If any tested positive, they would have to be slaughtered. She said: “I love what I do, I’ve done it since I was tiny, it’s my dream job. I just love every part of it. I love getting up in the morning and seeing all the cows. These cows, we’ve bred them over the years, grandad’s bred them and we’ve still got the same bloodline coming through. If we lost all these cows in one day, it would be devastating. Words can’t really describe, it would be heartbreaking.”
