This week's Farm Side will be about the horrendous government reactions to the finding of one TB positive cow that was imported into the US from Canada. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, let alone good friends.

These are just a few of the stories I perused in the writing of this week's column. I do a lot of research almost every week, because I hate to get things wrong if I can help it. Trust me, reading these stories is going to break your heart. This is not just about cows, but about family pets, beloved horses, and economic and personal disaster. I hope somehow things get sorted out without too much more damage than has already occurred.
Make sure you notice the projected source of this disease in this case and what is being done about it...which btw is nothing.
Here is a link to someone who knows more about it than I do.
Couldn't read too far without feeling outraged.
