[Jacob-list] Scrapies

[Paul Sisk]

  Is scrapie non-existent in Florida, or are there few enrolled flocks?




  There arent a lot of sheep in Florida. I think there are twenty nine
flocks enrolled in the scrapie program. Any animal traveling inside the
state has to have a flock tag that is issued by the state and can be traced
to the owner. I have never even heard of a case of scrapies in Florida. But
if a case were to pop up it can be traced back to the flock/premises of
origin. I wouldnt cull any QQ ewes but will breed only RR or QR rams. I
intend to research the availability of testing starting tomorrow for my
flock.
