We would like to thank Dr. Lubomira Soroko, D.V.M., with APHIS Veterinary
Services for her time spent traveling such a long distance to our farm for
inspections, for her astute observations and advice, her incredible attention
to detail and for her friendship. Thank you to Mary Ann Ogg, AHT, with the
United States Department of Agriculture, for the accuracy and reliability of her
evaluations and reports, and for many enjoyable hours sitting around our kitchen
table discussing livestock in general. We would also like to thank Dr. Joe C.
Garrett, D.V.M., with the United States Department of Agriculture in the Austin,
Texas office, for his patience in answering our questions and for his guidance
through the regulations over the past five years. We are proud to be a part of
such a worthwhile cause, in conjunction with the United States Department of
Agriculture, to eradicate scrapie disease in sheep. We pledge to continue
our participation in the Voluntary Scrapie Free Certification Program.
