How do you keep it out of the herd and spreading? 

Maple Hills had been a closed herd since 2015 and had done everything possible to keep CWD out, said owner Laurie Seale. In addition, the farm was attempting to cultivate a CWD-resistant herd through selective breeding.

Let’s be real here. This lady is at the top of the deer farming game. She has been double fenced and a closed herd… As myself… for years. She lives in Wisconsin where if one was to get educated they over reached when the first cases in the wild came out and they shot every Whitetail on site year around and decimated the herd, saying that the shit was going to kill deer hunting forever!  Well as you can see the CWD positive herd rebuilt itself back into the millions in a few short years and it continues on today. They are doing nothing to stop the spread in wild deer yet they try and shut down every farm that gets it????  That again points to the real only killer cwd is and that’s government trying to wipe out their competition. Fact. Now this lady is also the leader in breeding CWD….. Which is the same exact thing as Scrapies in sheep… out of deer farms so she was a bigger target. Do you see any rules against sheep farmers?  Hell No!   If anyone thinks cwd is more than just Pneumonia in Whitetails and is anything close to the real deer killer in EHD needs their head examined.

Thanks for your opinion. Good to hear from someone on that side of the fence. No pun intended.
