Default RE: CWD moving east?

Yep. Heard about it here in PA.

Appears NY found it quickly and was able to isolate it due to their mandatory testing of all herds that ship susceptible animals offsite.

Bad news in PA is that if a similar occurance happens, it may easily get spread wide and far before we even know it's here.

Only 251 of our captive/farmed herds are in our voluntary monitoring program. About 750 other herds have no mandatory testing requirement even on sick or culled animals and they can legally ship those susceptible animals anywhere in the state.
