We welcome Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta President, Matt Mellon to the show. Alberta learned in mid March that they had a Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae (m.ovi) on their hands coming off a record breaking show for the Alberta Chapter.
Matt comes on to talk about what they know, the timelines of what has happened to date, the status of containment and where we go from here. We have an open and frank discussion on Matt's worst fear - a wild sheep disease outbreak.
There is some unfortunate news, however there are some positive signs also. For the latest on Alberta's m.ovi outbreak and more of the going ons of WSF Alberta give this one a listen.
