That was also the case with another 45 at a neighbor's spread. The tension will drag on for weeks as the extensive investigation tries to find all the cattle that may have been exposed.

A load of bovine diarrhoea. But Reflux suspects Fiani - who wanted to take credit for blocking the deal - was upset at being gazumped by Macquarie, which spectacularly fumbled the bid in its final stages. Party time a shepherd and merino get up close during the frozen meat exports celebrations. The main speaker at the event will be John Pickering who will talk about bovine viral diarrhoea.
