Lori and all traveling back into the US... Please take every precaution with your boots and clothing coming back. There were a lot of cattle, sheep, and goats in the areas I hunted and so even if not technically on a "farm", many hunters may step in something that could transmit Hoof and Mouth... We do not need that here! It is irresponsible to try and side step the spraying of your boots and when you get home you need to also take extra care in cleaning pants, etc. And I would hope that when you return home, if they did not spray your boots at the airport, you would be responsible enough to do so yourself.
If you don't think this is important, look at the price of beef now and realize that cattle feeders have just suffered though a terrible price squeese as feedstuff escalated to all time highs the past 5 years and on top of that there were killing storms and severe drougths that impacted the cattle industry and cut the number of brood cows to very low levels. An epidemic on top of this all would be devastating to Cattle farmers and ranchers, consumers, and this country as a whole!
And I'm sure no one on here would want such a thing to get traced back to hunting and suffering the bad press that would ensue.
