idxx is mostly human clinical. I don't know of any company that broadly competes with neog.

Last time I looked idxx had allot of cash and I wondered if they might be interested in acquiring neog as well as companies like 3M or Dupont. Although neog in the last conference call talked like they were going to grow much bigger through acquisition because in regards to one of the questions about wasting cash buying back stock their answer was that after an acquisition their still would be that many fewer shares. To me that answer means that they are referring to an acquisition with a stock deal/exchange that must be greater than their $20 million dollars of buying power otherwise that answer wouldn't make sense. Of course that would be welcome news, neog greatly needs a larger market cap, we need a deal like that to get to $20, as long as the deal is accretive, and knowing how frugal neog's management is, they wouldn't do a deal that wasn't.
