the lifeboatI've been a holder of BNC for a long time.....maybe too long and and for too long a time....perhaps I should have lightened up on some of those spikes but always felt that others would recognize the value and we would get some momentum or at least stability. Thank you for all the posts . I've read them for years and although I don't always see eye to eye , this is a great way to get the average and the extreme opinions that we know exist on practically every issue in life. I just thought its time to add my opinon......The company ;according to p6 of the 08 annual report, received prior to full license, has the ability to produce 1m doses annually small batch...what margin if any ....your guess but definitely small... are they sacrifiicing another product to make these batches? or are they utilising a formerly unproductive area of the lab...with new hires ? The rate of production may work out to 1M / year but like a runner can they or will they keep it up....demand...they must have pruduct on the shelf when someone comes looking...we have all shopped for a specific item that when we found it was not available changed our minds and never came back...Don't forget they are basing on a three shot regimen...so we are talking 330K cattle...and the herd numbers are a revolving average especially feedlots....new in , finishing, slaughter...on a monthly basis...so it would only require a few large lots to take their full supply...I believe the vaccine production time is less than a month so we are talking 25K+ cattle monthly at 100% capacity and efficiency...Some will go for samples, some for testing and trials and realisticly 90% end product would be great...always bugs in a new line...................The latest Mc Raeism is 60 to 80 M doses /year for new facility ...Annual report states capacity will be a minimum of 40M.....On the urocin topic the release in May gave the the treated number as over 2/3 of the 105 at least 69 then they said more sites were qualified for the trial....if I recall up to 32....what concerns me is that although they have stated no one has been dropped due to efficacy or drug adverse concerns..have they lost some due to cancer grade changes after treatment....Seems this last 36 is taking forever....Anyhow I feel like we're in a lifeboat in a fog...we hear boats going by but we just can't seem to grab the rope..when the fog lifts we see the shore but the tide always takes us out further than before and then the fog closes in again...We are running out of food and water but we KNOW we are close to rescue just have to hang on for another day and another and another....last DSM committee results took over a week to be released...maybe Friday...I feel like I'm now in the boat with you other posters...tired frustrated but hanging on...Dusty
