Tell me about it!! The birds are no where near big enough to shoot, due to the whole weather thing, now it could all be ruined by another outbreak of FaMD.

It was actually confirmed on THURSDAY night but not released to the press until yesterday evening,DEFRA imposed a 3Km boundary immediately and i believe the cattle were slaughtered today.National ban on movement of animals in place.(According to the BBC).
TDi90:

not good for my dads farm :cry:
not good for a lot of people :cry:
lets hope it goes quick :evil:

whats worrying is that if the disease has surfaced its the incubation period of 5 days before that where it could have been transmitted around the country.
due to the fact animals are moved distances to abbatoirs now it *could* be anywhere, lets hope not
farms round me now are on high alert and have closed their gates to everyone in fear of it
Boggert:
While I was at work we got all the up to date info...
Other than the exclusion zones there is only a ban on movement of live stock.
The lanes at this moment are still open...
However if it spreads things will close down very quickly!
just keep watching the news.
