He was well compensated financially but he was devastated to lose all his breeding stock, a line which had been started by his late father (my uncle).Around My Kitchen Tablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840917368903178857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051301835816179558.post-32843369835676557972007-08-11T11:44:00.000+01:002007-08-11T11:44:00.000+01:00Hello AMKT - do you mean your brother's cattle wer...Hello AMKT - do you mean your brother's cattle were affected in this outbreak or in 2001?

I'm still surprised they have to cart the carcasses over such a distance to dispose of them. Lets hope its soon over. All digits crossed that ther are no more outbreaks.Hugs xxPenny Pincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993473608935875834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051301835816179558.post-68197866138474944212007-08-07T21:40:00.000+01:002007-08-07T21:40:00.000+01:00Keep them well-supported toes crossed.

Friends are mourning the delay of their bacon butties, and I am worried that the pigs will get too large, due as they were for slaughter next week. I could write a list of other mini disasters, but won't. Much worse for those farmers neighbouring Pirbright.Mopsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912659592484055741noreply@blogger.com
