This is a place where the disease is at its worst and everyone is feeling the straining. Steadily, day by day, hopes that the worst might be over, have evaporated and farm after farm has succumbed. Among the latest victims are Jeremy and Margaret Dennis. They are isolated and living in quarantine. They have just seen their livelihood destroyed.
Nobody comes in or out unless they are completely hosed down.
And we can't go anywhere. Six hundred animals have been incinerated here and there is nothing left. It just seems like a bad nightmare. Eighty cattle were here ten days ago and then all of a sudden they were all dead and piled up in sheds. The stench of smoke from the flames hangs right across the area.
