Puddy, the Avery herd didnt purchase any deer from that herd. The only deer ever brought in to Averys was from a herd in Mass, in the early '70's, according to DEC documentation. The captive herd from Rome acquired deer from Averys in the nineties, if thats what you were referring to. The state and ag and markets has since determined that the Avery herd was not infected, and is now no more. Mr Avery passed away this spring. Hope the info helps you.
