Bev, yes, 56.00 a pop, is what he told me. It does seem rather cheap for one

animal. But, it would add up, if you was to JUST start testing all the downers

ALONE, much less ANY of

the 100 million cattle a year, raised in the U.S. But, they are going to have to

do SOMETHING, because SOMETHING is killing these people. I just can't buy, THE

FALLING OUT OF THE

SKY THEORY.......

Good idea about the testing of CWD on your Families property, you might want to

give him a call. He is the one that is in charge of the CWD in Texas. It would

be worth a

shot..............
