yeah, all ruminants and pigs will have to be destroyed.

Oh Matt, I pray that this is a confined episode and that it has been caught in time, it would be tragic if this was to be an outbreak on a larger scale.

I have organised for my breeding stock to be picked up at early o'clock, and they will go onto a closed farm of a friends, but I cant move the rest.

Thanks Sam, I am just a small flock owner, I have friends who are full time farmers and they live off about £8000 a year, losing their stock will finish them.

Bloody Hell i dont know how they survive off that at the best of times never mind something like that happening - well its about time the government pulled their fingers out and started helping out our farmers as they do in other countries - that is a ridiculous amount to expect people to survive on i am really shocked by that.
Well good luck to them all and fingers crossed for them.
Love Sam

problem is that a lot of farmers are screwing the system and giving the rest a bad name.

Seems like the animal industry has shot itself in the foot, a company producing vaccine against foot and mouth seems to have caused the outbreak. Ironic that as the use of the vaccine is prohibited in the UK
