Don:
North Carolina AG lifted their ban on shows today.  So our spring shows should be on track.   I am not sure if we go back to testing as usual, hopefully so.  But I will keep you posted of more info as it becomes available.

Susan Mouw:
That is wonderful news!

Don:
Hang on everyone.  Washington just announced that they found a new case of AI in a turkey flock in Indiana.  Pray that this is found to be an isolated incident and that other flocks are clear.  Winter is here finally so lets hope for a clear season and no recurrences.
