A Quick round up of the last week in terms of Bluetongue and it's development across the country.
The current situation in the South West is challenging, to say the least.
On gov.uk now, a change from this day last week to this day this week is that they're now posting results by region, which shows a better breakdown on where the cases are.
We have to remind everyone that a case is not an animal, it's a hold-in, and it can be three animals or 300.
I know that's an exaggeration, but the cases are per hold-in, not per animal.
And we're also aware today that Scotland have had their first case in the southwest area.
We'll need to wait and see.
Shona, James, it's just getting worse.
It's horrific.
Yeah, I've been chatting to some guys I know down in the South West and I sent a voice note to one of them.
And he hadn't lost many, but he just was exhausted with having to deal with it, which is, yeah, we don't want to be seeing this.
And his story, unfortunately, is replicated across a lot of the farms down in the South West at the minute.
