Foot and Mouth

[Hughie]

Why do Defra take 36 hours to update their website?
BBC is miles faster,
they couldn't catch a cold.

'Cos it's the weekend, Mick.

(something to do with cattle being housed and airborne transmission, amongst others).

yeah id of thought deep litter would be the perfect breeding ground for foot and mouth warm moist and lots of animals in close proximity to each other.

Information from The Defra Website is now very involved.
I wonder if all farmers are still able to take it all in and know what is expected of them.
I really am sorry for them.
I wouldn't mind betting that many have had enough and are ready to jack it in.

is it over then?

Well, is it all over now  :-\

No, it isn't. Protection zones are gone, but restriction zones are still in place.
