Good day,

Yes, Allan that was the plan.

<<I never heard of problems for the cattle.>> Ah...but there's the rub. Just
because you haven't heard of it does not mean there is no problem. Some
others on the list also remember hearing of problems like TB but did not have
first hand experience.

A few locals down here have apparently had some problems and won't have any
chickens on their place. Of course all this is hear say...that's why I
posted. Hoping someone will be able to shed some light on this. All the
best. Frank
