Alabama rot

[finnbear270]

Had a notification couple days ago, cases now standing at 10.
Any continous nibbling at lower legs / pads, sores not healing in good time ... red flag.

Seems best guess knowledge connects it with muddy woodlands, So if timber came into the mill with disease in the mud, on timber or truck tyres.

Wondering if this necrotic disease could be related to that flesh eating one that is knocking about in the odd hospital scenario.
