I liked the RANT OVER! lol  - that was a brilliant piece written by someone who knows their stuff, I guess its like any animal that is farmed intensely there will be good and bad - but I agree that it makes you wonder how they pass the tests when smaller producers/breeders are scared witless by animal health visitors. Papers will always sensational stuff - in some ways its what gets the attention but at least the 2 farms mentioned may tidy up their act especially with hoof care and milking practises.
