Calling on anyone with information on the vaccine distribution progress to dairy and beef cattle herds in RSA. At the PHASA meeting was there any talk about this subject and any affects of the HMD outbreak on managed and wild game populations? Any HMD cases being reported by wildlife biologists or agencies above routine occurrences?

Not good news. Let's hope things don't get any worse.

Keep us updated on this, as it could have drastic effect on SA.
