warned, by a professional who works on response to animal
health emergencies, to be sure not to let anyone from Britain onto my
property. This now would extend to Scotland and Ireland, since, sadly,
the disease has now been reported there.

I have to side with Mary here...Having raised sheep for 18+ plus...This IS a
serious thing...not only to the animals/farms involved, but as Mary
stated..to OUR farms here in the US....
I always had a *Closed* flock...NOBODY leaves or comes in!!! period...and
yes, Judges can't come and look at my animals here..so I just showed the
fleeces...
My heart goes oout to the farmers....this is devistating to them!!! No
profits...and think about a entire herd/flock...destroyed!!!
And although this really isn't...or really IS related to fiber....Just be
careful....and with regards to Mary on Copy Writing...Well, it's been ALL
over the newspapers.....
Just my 2 worth....Thanks for listening...
I have been corresponding, and been on the Sheep-L with Mary...for what...as
long as I've had a computer...6yrs now?? so ...Mary is a wonderful
person...please dont' sell her short...she KNOWS what she's talking about
