Me too. Have a feeling it will be at least 14 days (probably more
), just wanted to know, getting itchy feet and our hay man won't deliver (don't blame him.....he has cows).

Update: 11 August
The Temporary Control Zone around a farm in Surrey has been lifted following negative results for Foot and Mouth Disease.
Chief Veterinary Officer, Debby Reynolds, said:
This is day eight of the foot and mouth outbreak. I must stress the need for relentless vigilance. It is crucial that all animal keepers continue to check their animals regularly and practice the highest possible levels of biosecurity. There is a substantial operation on the ground to prevent the spread of this disease and we are seeing a tremendous response. I would like to thank all of those involved.

It's 15 days from culling and disinfection of the infected premises subject to negative results on the land. This will only make the area part of the surveillance zone then it's another 15 days until the all clear.

Thanks, just have to keep everything crossed that there are no more cases and then all being well should be pretty much back to normal by September then!!
